Purpose for a foundation for public interest journalism

The proposed Scoop Foundation for Public Interest Journalism (a working name only) will be dedicated to supporting the growth of public interest journalism in New Zealand, broadly defined as all instances of ethical journalistic practice in pursuit of the public interest, and inclusive of known communities of practice such as investigative journalism and the education of new journalists.

The foundation will operate as a not-for-profit enterprise and will seek charitable status on the basis of its purpose and intent.
