At thisquality, we believe in journalism that stands for something: truth, transparency, integrity.

In a world where narratives are twisted with spin, clickbait, and hidden agendas, we remain fiercely independent and committed to reporting what’s real, not what’s convenient in the interest of big advertising money.

We’re powered by the people of Aotearoa New Zealand. Every contribution helps us dig deeper and ask hard-hitting questions — without fear or favour.

To stay sustainable, we also take on contract work with a range of third-party organisations. This could be from local businesses to government departments across the nation.

But make no mistake: our editorial content is never for sale. No one gets to dictate what we write, unless it’s clearly marked and agreed upon. Our voice stays ours. Always.

If you value honest reporting in a time of noise and distraction where narratives are being twisted, stand with us.

Every donation helps ensure thisquality stays free to read, fiercely independent, accountable only to the public — not advertisers with big money or corporate shareholders.
