Support journalism that is worth making room for.

We believe there has never been a more important time to support independent journalism.

The importance of accurate, rigorous reporting and analysis feels more acute than ever. Newsroom’s donors and subscribers support our reporters to tackle the big issues facing New Zealand.

By supporting Newsroom you are helping to ensure a sustainable future for fact-driven, independent journalism in Aotearoa, NZ.

Your donation, big or small, one off or regular, helps us to deliver on our core values of independence, intelligence and integrity. We believe these are values worth making room for.

We appreciate your support.

Thanks,
Tim, Mark and the team at Newsroom


​Useful information


​We recommend reading the sections below for more information about the Newsroom funding campaign.

What is PressPatron?

Newsroom has partnered with PressPatron, a Kiwi crowdfunding platform that makes it easy to support blogs and journalism websites. The PressPatron team would love to hear your feedback, and can be contacted here.

Is my payment secure?

Payments made via PressPatron are securely processed using an SSL connection with 256-bit AES encryption. The underlying payment infrastructure is provided by Stripe, a leader in online payments who provides credit card processing for companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Xero, Kickstarter, and others.

All credit card data is encrypted and Stripe maintains strict administrative, technical, and physical procedures to protect your information. More info about Stripe’s security policies can be viewed here. PressPatron does not collect or store your credit card number within their own database.

How can I manage my payment preferences?

Once you have contributed, you will be given the option of creating a PressPatron account to manage your payment preferences. Your supporter dashboard will provide you an overview of your contributions, as well as an interface for editing your payment details. If you already have an account, you can login here.

How is this different to Newsroom Pro?

Newsroom Pro is our premium subscription service for large-scale clients, including corporate and enterprise-level businesses, government departments, councils, non-governmental organisations, and the like. Newsroom Pro provides paid subscribers with premium media intelligence, breaking news, and insights into market developments in real-time.

By contrast, our PressPatron funding campaign is focused on supporting the public version of the Newsroom website, which contains stories that are freely accessible to anyone. Your contributions are completely voluntary, and support us in our mission to provide all New Zealanders with free access to quality journalism.
