newmatilda.com, commonly known as New Matilda, is an independent Australian website of news, analysis and satire.

The website was established by John Menadue in August 2004. It is now registered in the name of Cordell Media Pty Ltd, a company which is not aligned with any political party.[2] In May 2007, the policy section of newmatilda.com separated to become the Centre for Policy Development, a left-wing think tank.

On 27 May 2010, editor Marni Cordell announced that the publication would cease on 25 June, due to financial support drying up.[3]

On 8 Oct 2010, Cordell announced that newmatilda.com would be returning as a reader supported site.[4] The site raised more than $150,000 in a six week fundraising campaign and is now back up and running and publishing daily.

Political cartoons

Beginning in May 2008, the website featured the satirist cartoons of Bill Leak.[6] In July 2008, it launched an annual online competition for political cartooning.

The first competition ran for three months, from July through to September 2008. The winner was Sarah Parsons, who received first prize of $6,000. The second competition opened in April 2009 and the winner was Sydney-based Fiona Katauskas. The finalists' entries were displayed at the Tap Gallery in Darlinghurst.
