Support independent Tasmanian journalism

Tasmania deserves better than what the big media companies offer.

Ours is one of Australia's most concentrated media landscapes — a single News Corp daily, a handful of regional papers, and very little that isn't ultimately answerable to someone other than you, the reader.

Tasmanian Times exists to change that.

Since 2002, we have been the island's broadest independent voice — holding power to account, covering the stories that mainstream outlets ignore, and giving Tasmanians a place to speak, read, and think freely. We hold no allegiance to any political party, commercial interest, or outside proprietor. Our only obligation is to this island and to the truth.

But independent media doesn't run on goodwill alone.

When you become a patron, you're not just a reader anymore...you're a stakeholder. Your support directly funds journalism that exposes what others won't touch, commentary that sparks real debate, and a community forum where Tasmanian voices ring loud and clear. Every dollar stays on the island, reinvested into the platform that belongs to all of us.

In a healthy democracy, an independent press isn't a luxury. It's infrastructure.

✦ No paywalls. No advertisers calling the shots. No outside interests.

✦ Editorially independent since day one.

✦ Free to read. Sustained by people who believe that matters.

This is your island. This is your paper. Help us keep it that way.
