Hi there! We've just launched a new fortnightly newsletter pulling together the best charts, graphs and data viz from the Guardian and the web. Click to sign up here! - Nick Evershed, data and interactives editor

Thanks for subscribing to this newsletter. Before you move on, I wonder if you would consider making a contribution to our end-of-year fundraiser. As we look ahead to the challenges of 2024, we’re aiming to raise $300,000 to power more rigorous, independent reporting.

This year, our journalism held the powerful to account and gave a voice to the marginalised. It cut through misinformation to arm Australians with facts about the referendum and exposed corporate greed amid the cost-of-living crunch. It sparked government inquiries and investigations, and continued to treat the climate crisis with the urgency it deserves.

This vital work is made possible because of our unique reader-supported model. With no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider, we are empowered to produce truly independent journalism that serves the public interest, not profit motives.

And unlike others, we don’t keep our journalism behind a paywall. With misinformation and propaganda increasingly rife, we believe it is more important than ever that everybody has access to trustworthy news and information, whether they can afford to pay for it or not.

If this is work you value, please consider supporting more of it with a year-end contribution from $1. Every act of support, however small, gets us closer to our goal. Thank you.

In 2023, Guardian Australia journalism exposed misinformation, held the powerful to account and gave a voice to the marginalised. Our work armed Australians with facts about the referendum, exposed corporate greed amid the cost-of-living crisis, and helped spark numerous investigations and inquiries.

Now, as we look to the momentous challenges ahead, we are aiming to raise an additional $300k to support more independent, rigorous journalism.

Here are three good reasons to make the choice to support us today.

If you can, make the choice to support us with a year-end contribution from $1. Whether you choose to give a little or a lot, your funding will power our journalism in 2024 and the years to come. Thank you.
