Article: The Scoop Editor

Today, June 8th, Scoop announces the launch of Werewolf a new monthly online and email magazine featuring exclusive articles on politics, business, music and the arts, and available at http://www.werewolf.co.nz

Werewolf will be edited and co-written by Scoop Political Editor Gordon Campbell. It will be published on the full moon of every month, and contributors will come from all corners of the New Zealand media scene.

We believe that Werewolf will become a beacon for online journalism in New Zealand - a place where we will assemble content from some of the best of the new generation of online journalists. That is the Scoop vision : to provide a genuine, alternative voice to the mainstream media.

Our first edition includes:

• Art politics in the 2000s - by Brannavan Gnanalingam. Helen Clark’s legacy to the arts, and will it survive her?
• Smackdown over the S59 law - by Gordon Campbell. Why the citizens referendum in July is a futile way to spend $10 million
• Sporting Life - by Lamont Russell. Can Andy Murray break the British hex at Wimbledon?
• Countdown Lebanon - by Chris Ritchie. Will the Byzantine voting system confound the doomsayers about the election in Lebanon?
• Left Coasting - Rosalea Barker reports from the US about California’s social and budgetary meltdown
• Classics - Gordon Campbell on the children’s author and illustrator William Steig
• From the Hood: Scoop satirist Lyndon Hood on the mechanics of the trade
• Sporting Life: Lamont Russell on Andy Murray’s chances at Wimbledon
• The Complicatist: Lonesome Elvis, and Will Sheff on a soul classic
