2009 - The Beginning
Founded by a group of disillusioned mainstream journalists who wanted to tell the stories that mattered, without corporate interference or editorial censorship.
At Afflicotto, we believe in the power of unfiltered truth. Established in 2009, we've built our reputation as Australia's premier gutter press by tackling the stories others won't touch. Our mission is simple: deliver fearless journalism that exposes corruption, challenges authority, and gives voice to the voiceless.
We specialise in investigative reporting that cuts through the noise of mainstream media, focusing on the real issues affecting everyday Australians. From political scandals to celebrity exposés, from corporate corruption to social injustices, we're committed to bringing you the raw truth behind the headlines.
We maintain the highest standards of journalistic integrity, fact-checking every story and protecting our sources.
We're not afraid to tackle controversial topics or challenge powerful figures when the story demands it.
We believe in complete transparency with our readers about our methods, sources, and editorial decisions.
We serve the Australian community by focusing on local stories that impact real people's lives.
