Hi, I'm Phillip.

I'm a British-South African journalist and editor working mostly around international affairs, business, technology, and the environment, with newsrooms in several countries.

I have started print and online publications, managed investigations, and fought fake news.  I have been a radio and TV talking head. I have also perpetrated quite a lot of honest journalism about all kinds of things.

These days I tend to write columns and offer pastoral editing, which is a bit like coaching minus the paternalism and with an emphasis on velocity.

You can find me on LinkedIn and Bluesky.
