BayBuzz Needs Your Support!

Dear Friend,

For almost two years, BayBuzz has provided unique and in-depth coverage of key issues affecting all of us here in Hawke’s Bay.

Issues I know you care about — where do your rates $$ go … why is the Tukituki’s water getting worse … is the Regional Sports Park another Splash Planet … is Ocean Beach really safe from developers … are our councils committed to “sustainable” growth?

So far, everything we do on our website – and more recently in our monthly BayBuzz Digest – has been a labour of love. Over a thousand hours of work – the research, writing, editing, and so on – have been donated to bring you the insights, information and analysis that make BayBuzz so distinctive and, we hope, relevant, useful and thought-provoking.

We want to make BayBuzz even better, but we need your support to make it happen. Love alone won’t get the job done!

So, I’m inviting you to become a BayBuzz Friend.

There’s no set fee or subscription price. By making an annual contribution of $35 or more, you can help us cover the hard costs of printing, web hosting, and everything else we do to produce our daily online articles and to distribute our high quality monthly BayBuzz Digest to over 10,000 homes.

In return for your contribution, you’ll get BayBuzz Digest mailed to your door each month.

I hope you feel that BayBuzz is worth your support. I’d be honoured and grateful if you decide to join us as a BayBuzz Friend. Please use the coupon below.

Sincerely,

Tom Belford

P.S. Here’s what readers say about BayBuzz, compared to local papers …

BayBuzz “leaves them for dead! BayBuzz covers important topics, not the itzy-bitzy inconsequential trivia that the local rags home in on.”

BayBuzz is “ provocative, fresh, thought provoking, easy to skim and gain insight.”

BayBuzz is “ incomparably better for analysis of issues and access to informed opinion.”

“What comparison?? When did the local paper last do meaningful investigative journalism, or critically examine local contentious issues? You read BayBuzz to think, HB Today to be entertained!”

“I find it refreshing as it provides a range of views, allows for feedback on those views and to my knowledge is well-balanced.”
