Our Story

Founded in 2014, crag-puffin emerged from a commitment to provide Australians with journalism that serves the public interest rather than commercial agendas alone. What started as a small team of dedicated reporters has grown into a respected news organisation reaching readers across the nation.

We recognised early on that communities deserve access to reporting that investigates, informs, and illuminates. Our editorial independence allows us to pursue stories that matter, holding power accountable while celebrating the achievements of everyday Australians.

Today, our newsroom combines traditional journalistic values with modern delivery methods, ensuring that quality reporting reaches you wherever you are and however you prefer to consume news.

Our Editorial Principles

The standards that guide every story we publish

Accuracy Above All

Every fact is verified through multiple sources before publication. When we make mistakes, we correct them promptly and transparently. Our readers deserve information they can trust, and we work diligently to earn that trust with every article.

Our Verification Process
Research and data verification

Independence and Fairness

Our editorial decisions are made free from commercial or political influence. We present multiple perspectives on complex issues, allowing readers to form their own informed opinions. Transparency about our processes and potential conflicts is paramount.

Community Focus

While we cover national and international stories, our heart remains with Australian communities. Local stories receive the same rigorous treatment as major breaking news because we understand that community matters deserve serious journalism.
