Scoop Launches Crowd Funding Campaign - We Need Your Help

AT Alastair Thompson Public Seen by 129

Gidday everybody.

Today's Big News

Scoop has today launched a crowd funding campaign to raise the funds to transform the Scoop.co.nz publishing company into a not-for-profit news organisation held for the public of New Zealand.

>"At Scoop we believe that access to independent news and investigative journalism is a public right that is essential for democracy to thrive. But it is a public right that is eroding. Digital technology now enables a business model to be developed that makes news freely accessible to all citizens, and in which the news apparatus itself can be transparent. Creating this new kind of news organisation is what "Operation Chrysalis" is all about. We are taking a bold step to preserve the public right to access news."

The campaign is being run on NZ's Pledgeme.co.nz crowd funding platform here :

Please feel free to email me any suggestions or ideas or post them on the board here.
