Donate to support independent media

Independent media is more important now than ever before. Pearls and Irritations needs your financial support to keep improving and growing. With the shortcomings of our mainstream media, the role of P&I is more and more important.

In 2022, we had 5,377,189 ‘views’. In the last three years, views have increased by 237%. Subscriptions to the daily and weekly email have reached almost 28,000, an increase of over 25 per cent in the last twelve months.

Feedback has been very encouraging. A senior journalist described P&I to me as ‘a light in the dark on key issues for the nation’. We face major public policy issues - a pending climate catastrophe, the increasingly dangerous relations between the US and China in our region and growing national and international inequality. We will focus on these issues in the months ahead. We do not seek ‘balance’ in our content. We focus on what we consider truthful reporting and analysis.

In addition to continuing to increase our influence and traffic on key public issues, we need to employ more resources to continue our work. My wife, Susie, has been a major contributor to P&I. She has the skills I badly lack. But Susie has a serious health problem and will no longer be able to contribute. With my increased care responsibilities I cannot be involved so actively in day to day operations. I will continue however as Chair and Editor in Chief. Both Susie and I have been unpaid in our work with P&I over the last decade. So we will need more financial support to ease and spread the workload.

Donations are not tax deductible. The laborious task to secure tax deductibility is being pursued. We will continue our policy of not accepting advertising and will not introduce a pay-wall. We do not accept political donations. Please help us to improve our content and make it available to more readers. Your financial support is very important for our continuing work. We look forward to your continuing support.

John Menadue.
