The Bruce Jesson Foundation

Bruce Jesson was one of New Zealand ’s greatest journalists and controversialists.

The Bruce Jesson Foundation promotes vigorous political, social and economic investigation, debate, analysis and reporting. This activity is organised by the Foundation’s Trustees, and is supported by a wide membership.

All are welcome to become members. Although Bruce Jesson was prominent in left-wing circles he had friends across the political spectrum - including the trustees

The Trust records with great regret the death on 13 August of its founding Chair, Rt. Hon David Lange., ONZ.He will be greatly missed by us, as by all New Zealanders.
