FEATURES • This year’s World Press Photo Contest highlights the plight of women across the globe; ahead of the State of Origin kick-off, Jess Hill looks at the troubling relationship between domestic violence, sport and gambling; the rise and rise of narcissists and how gossiping got a makeover.

THE BIG PICTURE • Showcasing stories both widely covered and almost unnoticed, the World Press Photo Contest holds a lens to the most urgent issues of today. Here, we look at the way life is unfolding for women around the world.

SORE LOSERS • With all the football codes in full swing and ahead of the State of Origin kick-off game on May 28, Jess Hill dives into the inextricable link between sports, gambling and domestic violence.

THE NARCISSIST MYTH • Only one to six per cent of the population are true narcissists, but the diagnosis has escaped the therapist’s office and is now being used to label everyone from influencers and celebrities to self-centred exes and egotistical bosses. But do they really deserve the title? Or, for that matter, do you?

Gossip, girls! • What’s historically been considered a nasty practice between simple-minded women gets a complete rethink in journalist and podcaster Kelsey McKinney’s new book. As it turns out, gossip is good for us.

It’s (not) JUST A CRUSH • In his new book, Smitten, neuroscientist Dr Tom Bellamy dives into the phenomenon of limerence – a beautiful name for the euphoric yet heart-wrenching state of obsessive romantic infatuation – and how to recover from it.
