We’d like to ask for your help. In a fast-changing world where misinformation spreads on social media, the need for trustworthy journalism has never been greater. But the media industry faces strong headwinds. Traditional means of funding journalism - such as advertising and subscriptions to our newspapers - have declined, compounded by the economic impact of Covid-19.

We hold the powerful to account - from making sure your rates are spent wisely to challenging Cabinet ministers who flout the rules.
We uncover hidden truths - from the Defence Force’s activities in Afghanistan to which companies commit the greatest climate damage.
And we champion Kiwi communities and values - from fighting for New Zealand history to be taught in schools to enhancing coverage of Te Ao Māori with our new Pou Tiaki section.
