Letting the Truth Ruin a Good Story...
A look at the world with Media and Political commentator, Paul… "The Other One" Barlow.
With over 25'000 subscribers across platforms (linktr.ee/paul_barlownz), I like to bring an objective viewpoint to subjective media - letting the truth get in the way of a good story.
With experience in content creation, B2C and B2B Marketing, journalism, PR, media theory, broadcasting, podcasting and writing, I approach everything with a broad view on the topic and a niche view on how to interpret it - with an added dash of nerdy meta referencing for added fun.
I'd love if you gave this page a follow, shared it with people and shared your thoughts on it - but always remember Rule 1 of all my pages - don't be a dick.
