Description

Philip Crump is a lawyer by trade, who returned to Aotearoa during the pandemic. He found the media environment much more homogenous than the one he left behind in London, and started tweeting about what he observed. Within two years those tweets, and a widely-read Substack, made him one of the most powerful new voices in right wing media. He tells the story of how NZME doxxed him, then hired him to edit ZB Plus - a mainstream competitor to the fast-proliferating likes of Sean Plunket’s The Platform.
