25 Years of XCity

This year marks the 25th edition of XCity magazine. To celebrate the journalism department’s flagship publication, we have delved into the archives to bring you every cover of each XCity issue and a handpicked feature from each year.

From black and white, to Geri Halliwell, to a keyboard accessorised with grass, the covers span a spectrum of tastes.The features we’ve chosen range from celebrity would-be journalists, to profiles of Blair’s spin doctors, to reports from the Gulf War.
