Press Release: New Zealand National Party

The National Party is giving its support to the Labour Government’s decision to commit troops to Operation Enduring Freedom.

“We have a role to play in the war on terrorism especially after the Bali bombing on our own doorstep,” says National deputy leader Roger Sowry.

“The National Party is right behind the programme, but hopes Opposition Parties and the public are kept fully informed about what the New Zealand contingent is doing,” says Mr Sowry.

In response to the challenges facing Scoop and the media industry we’ve instituted an Ethical Paywall to keep the news freely available to the public.
People who use Scoop for work need to be licensed through a ScoopPro subscription under this model, they also get access to exclusive news tools.

The “Scoop 3.0” Transition Plan
There is good reason to believe that a new path and a better future is possible for Scoop in 2019 as a pioneering independent Media company. A combination of new technology, ideas, institutions and business models and a renewed energy and commitment by the Scoop team, means Scoop aims to be at the forefront of the development of this renaissance that we term ‘News 3.0’.

By opening up Scoop’s structure to community ownership and exploring decentralised technology through the blockchain we can ensure the public has a stake in this enterprise and a say in its development. More>>
