From 911Encyclopedia:

Scoop is a Wellington based Internet news agency accredited to the New Zealand Parliament Press Gallery. It specialises in providing news and commentary **raw and fast** and is made up largely of what Scoop likes to call "disintermediated" news - that is news without a spin put on it by a journalist. Scoop is different from most internet based news services - the majority of which are based on feeds of news from the old - real-world - media. Scoop believes in the power of information to transform lives. It believes in the power of the internet to resolve conflict (by breaking down walls and letting the love in). And it believes in the power of compelling ideas to propel themselves into political consciousness if they are able to get exposure and be debated. Scoop's mission is to be an agent of this change. A friend to freedom of information, expression, and of love. A source and testing bed for new ideas, and a forum for (a very wide and eclectic range of) hopes of a better future for all. Scoop was the first popular news portal, who published Lihop Pt.2 by GROUND ZERO Forum's ewing2001. http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0208/S00068.htm The article was downloaded 40.000 in the first few days.
