Vision for a foundation for public interest journalism

The proposed vision is to:

• establish the foundation as a major source of support for journalism and journalists who are engaged in well-defined and robust forms of investigative journalism intended for publication in the public arena
• identify topic areas of insufficient public reportage and/or media coverage and to direct resources to those topics
• reinforce the practice and techniques of public journalism and engender higher levels of knowledge and skill amongst practising journalists

The vision of the foundation is not premised on any one publishing platform or associated revenue model, and nor will it seek to directly compete with established media.
