crowdfunding campaign
www.sciencejournalismfund.nz

The Aotearoa New Zealand Science Journalism Fund is the first independent journalism fund dedicated to furthering coverage of the science-related issues that impact New Zealanders.

​It is open to all professional journalists working for mainstream media outlets (newspapers and magazines, TV, radio and news websites) as well as freelancers who collaborate with mainstream news outlets.

​We’re looking to support science journalism projects that tackle issues in the public interest, that are too costly for mainstream media outlets to undertake alone.

​Founder, in partnership with the Royal Society for New Zealand, Deep South National Science Challenge, Te Pūnaha Matatini, Victoria University of Wellington, SciBlogs and the Science Media Centre.
