Dear Scoop Readers, Members, Contributors, Stakeholders and Supporters,

Yesterday the Scoop Foundation reached its PledgeMe establishment phase crowd funding goal of $50k in pledges. Having done so the work of the Scoop Foundation can now begin in earnest.

To kick this off we have begun planning opportunities to meet and engage with our new community of members and contributorsm, as well as to reach out to other groups who are working towards shared objectives.

This coming Sunday the Scoop Foundation is hosting its first formal members meeting. And over the next fortnight Scoop Foundation people plan to participate in two external events which focus on practical approaches to addressing challenges around the future of news delivery in New Zealand. The details of all three events follow below.

The Scoop Foundation’s first ever meeting “Scoop Hui” will be held this coming Sunday 22nd November in Wellington. We plan to use the occasion to introduce ourselves and the Scoop Foundation, answer questions and begin to explore ways in which the Scoop Foundation Community might assist the Scoop Foundation to flourish in the months and years ahead.
