Readers want more voices than ever. Journalists have never had fewer ways to be paid for providing them.
Australians who want a full picture of the news end up stacking subscriptions, one masthead at a time, and many are sceptical of who owns them. Australia has one of the most concentrated media markets in the world.
The same forces have pushed experienced journalists out of newsrooms and into a crowded freelance market, where good work is paid by the word, if at all.
We built Pith News to connect the two: the facts free for everyone, and a direct line from readers to the independent journalists they choose to read.
