Disgraced broadcaster Huw Edwards has reportedly turned to the unmoderated platform Substack to share his views on the political landscape. This move comes as other celebrities facing career setbacks are also reportedly using the platform to maintain a public presence.
Edwards, who has been out of the public eye following controversy, is said to be using Substack to express his opinions. While the platform offers an unmoderated space for creators, his former publicist has described this approach as the 'wrong way' to rebuild a career, according to reports.
This trend suggests that Substack is becoming a go-to option for public figures seeking to bypass traditional media gatekeepers and engage directly with audiences, particularly when facing professional difficulties or seeking to control their public narrative. The platform's open nature allows for a wide range of content, including political commentary, without the editorial oversight found in mainstream media.
