Value proposition

No. Boring. Stories.

Independent Australia is a progressive journal focusing on politics, democracy, the environment, human rights and issues of national identity. It contains news and opinion from Australia and around the world.

IA supports quality investigative journalism, as well as citizen journalism and a diversity of voices. It believes Australians are short-changed by the mass media — and so it dedicates itself to seeking out the truth and informing the public.

Established in June 2010, by David Donovan, Independent Australia is a member of the Australian Press Council and the Federal Parliamentary Press Gallery.

IA's editorial team possesses a wealth of experience through its senior editorial team, which is made up of founder and publisher David Donovan, managing editor Michelle Pini, digital editor Dan Jensen and assistant editors Nicholas Bugeja and Cherie Moselen.

Also on the team, contributing hugely to IA's success, are investigations editor Ross Jones, media editor Dr Lee Duffield and history editor Dr Glenn Davies.

IA features regular columns from outstanding journalists, political commentators and cartoonists including Mark David, Alan Austin, Abul Rizvi, Dr Jennifer Wilson, Dr Victoria Fielding, Paul Budde and Tom Tanuki among others.
