Stuff to put up first paywalls for news

Stuff has put almost all its news and content online for free since launching stuff.co.nz in 2000. It is also unclear whether significant local stories from three three mastheads with paywalls will be available to online readers nationwide without local subscriptions. One month later Stuff launched a drive to get online readers to support its journalism with donations. Business publication NBR put up a full online paywall in 2014 and eventually ditched its print edition altogether in 2020. That left Stuff as the last publisher without a paywall to get revenue from online readers - until now.
