Initial focus for a foundation of public interest journalism

The initial focus will include:

• putting in place a structure that will include a robust and transparent Editorial Panel/process to guide the journalism focus of its operations and attract wide participation and interest;
• setting up a framework for foundation grants, fellowships and internships in public journalism within New Zealand;
• building relationships with like-minded organisations and networks, nationally and internationally;
• seeking a sufficient flow of contributions and participants to be sustainable for its first two years of operation.
