Labor launches $30,000 crowd-funding campaign for new Labor Herald newsletter
The Australian Labor Party has launched a new crowd-funding campaign to help fund its new newsletter The Labor Herald, seeking $30,000 on the Pozible website.
The launch of the “Crikey style” newsletter was first mooted in April of last year with the ALP finally appointing former Kidspot editor-in-chief Alex Brooks as editor in April this year.
According to the Pozible campaign the new service will be “a progressive website with a weekly email that’s FREE to everyone and anyone who wants to take a squiz.
“But while the Labor Herald comes for free, it won’t cost nothing. Which is why we want you to be a part of it. The Labor Herald aspires to be curated and created by the people who really make politics happen – YOU!”
The ALP is offering those who become foundation members of the news service a variety of rewards from “Abbott Free Zone” fridge magnets for a $50 donation, signed Julia Gillard corflutes for $1,000 and a copy of True Believers signed by former Labor leaders Gough Whitlam, Bill Hayden, Bob Hawke, Paul Keating and Kim Beazley.
