On that day Stuff became a wholly New Zealand-owned media organisation, answerable only to the people of Aotearoa. Since then we’ve worked to create a company that’s fiercely independent in its thinking and actions. Reimagining what a media platform is and can be.
More nīwha (bold), imaginative and surprising. More joyful and human. More committed to equality and Te Tiriti o Waitangi. More of and for this place. Because we are.
We’re investing in front-line journalism because the truth takes more. Choosing to partner, or not, with those who share our values. Making decisions based on what’s right, not what’s convenient. Holding the powerful to account, starting with ourselves. Rethinking every part of our business to make it more original in its kaupapa and more impactful in its actions.
Our goal is to become the most trusted organisation in Aotearoa, which for a media company is pretty radical in itself.
For more than 160 years, our news and information services have been part of Kiwi communities - you probably read our newspapers and magazines, follow live news and current events on Stuff, or advertise with us.
Now, you can also make direct financial contributions to help power our local and national news teams up and down the country, our live blogs and video streams, and our award-winning investigations.
Producing hundreds of stories every day costs time and money, so if you value what we do, and want to see more impactful work that benefits Aotearoa, please contribute.
Help us be braver and bolder in the impact we want to have. Read our latest Impact Report here.
We helped a dying man see his family
The decision to deny dying Kiwi Trevor Ponting an emergency MIQ spot (on the same day The Wiggles received one) was reversed by officials after Stuff’s reporting. Trev was reunited with his family a few months before he died.
We forced Government transparency
Climate reporter Olivia Wannan refused to be fobbed off and forced the Ministry for Primary Industries to admit it misled Cabinet and the public on carbon budgets - an error that could result in 2 million extra tonnes of carbon pollution.
We bought a hill
Fundraising campaign Buy This Hill smashed its target in a few hours to buy a 500-hectare block of Christchurch land, protecting public access and securing the land for native bush regeneration.
We revealed NZ links to atrocities
Stuff Circuit’s Deleted unearthed NZ connections to the persecution of Uyghurs, forcing businesses to cut ties with a Chinese firm. The Government demanded ethical investment policies be re-evaluated.
