It’s time for us to blow our own trumpet.
And to thank you for your support.
Our August 2022 readership was very strong, our best-ever for an August.
And (apart from the extraordinary March/April/May 2020 in the early days of the pandemic) August 2022 was one of our best ever for any month. Better still, it is building on a series of strong months, now a growing period of great reader engagement for interest.co.nz.
Your readership energises our team.
And those of you who Support us via PressPatron are our special heroes.
But this is not a call for Support. Rather it is a report back to readers, that you are among a growing band, now a very large community.
We see our role to explain the economy to New Zealanders. We are focused on that.
We are not distracted by the demographic of readers that comment, as entertaining and enlightening as they can be. Our body of readers are across the board, with about half under 45 yrs. And we are reporting on how the economy affects everyone.
Thank you for your support. And for your feedback.

Actually, you can't extrapolate 'unique' from a-month to a-year. Unique-in-a-year over the past 12 months was about 3.3 mln and given many readers access our content on more than one device, we reckon about 2.7 mln people come at least one in a year. About 90% are NZ-based. Still, that is more than half the New Zealand adult population.
No, never. But we are well prepared with the best legal advice. But not sure I want to be in Crikey's situation.
Yes, congratulations a really good site. I am not a member of the “financial community” and have found this site a wealth of information. I am educating myself slowly with daily reading, often the comments are the most educational. I am now feeling better equiped to ( try to ) plan my finances; keeping an eye on RBNZ, govt and international pressures. I got caught in the pandemic not understanding how loose monetary policy had been set, that won’t happen again.
Thanks for all the work put in.
Good to see Interest the least left leaning - though the coverage of Uffindell and not Sharma was fairly revealing. https://mediabias.co.nz/
Perhaps pieces from Nordhaus, McKitrick, Curry, Pielke Jr. etc to temper the relentless, but lucrative, net zero doomosphere clickbait?
Ditto congrats to interest.co.nz.
Pielke Jr. is one of my favourite academics. Really current, full of links in evidence, interesting (and varied) topics. He's taking sabbatical leave and is trying to support the leave via subscriptions to his blog. Would be a really worthwhile consideration.
I'm listening to his podcast now, how the Climate lobby have removed plausibility as a factor when making forecasts. The forecasts in RCP 8.5 assume 33,000 new coal fired power plants globally, there are currently 6,000 - so an increase of >500%. Almost certain not to eventuate.
