On 27 May 2010, editor Marni Cordell announced that the publication would cease on 25 June, due to financial support drying up. [2] On 8 October 2010, Cordell announced that newmatilda.com would be returning as a reader supported site. [3] The site raised more than $150,000 in a six-week fundraising campaign and is now back up and running and publishing daily. However, webanalytics for January 2016 showed the site was barely performing, rated at 2989 for Australian sites, compared to, for example, 36 for The Age , or 936 for Crikey.com.[ citation needed ]
In May 2014, Cordell announced her resignation and painted an uncertain future for New Matilda. [4] Since then it has continued publishing under its new editor Chris Graham, an investigative journalist and former editor of the National Indigenous Times . [5]
