Dear Scoop Reader,

After fifteen and a half years in the news Scoop has determined its future needs to be much more connected with the community it serves, the process of change to achieve this has been called 'Scoop Operation Chrysalis' (you can find out more here).

As the first step in this process of change we wans to find out more about the people who use Scoop regularly.

If you are someone who reads Scoop regularly or who submits press releases or content to Scoop for publication we would like to hear from you. PLEASE CLICK HERE to do our survey.

Meanwhile fans and supporters of Scoop are invited to join a newly establised Scoop Support Crew to enable them to participate in the Operation Chrysalis programme over the coming six months. CLICK HERE to join our support crew.

As well as keeling in touch via email Scoop will be using the world leading collaborative decision-making software Loomio developed here in Wellington to coordinate the group.

This week Scoop will also launch a Public Conversation about the state of the NZ news media.

Kind Regards

Background To Operation Chrysalis
