THE
NEWS

The news is broken. Whether it’s adverts disguised as news, trivia masquerading as real content or important news simply missing from the news feed. Something is wrong. As traditional advertising revenues dry up, publishers are being forced to dumb down or distort the news to keep their businesses alive. And we are all suffering because of it.

Journalism matters. It’s the lifeblood of democracy. And that’s why one of New Zealand’s oldest and largest independent online news publishers, Scoop.co.nz is building a platform – the New Scoop – to support public interest journalism guided by its commitment to:

Seek Truth and Report It

Minimise Harm

Act Independently and Honestly

Be Accountable and Transparent
