Tom Grundy, a 32-year-old from England, came over to Hong Kong ten years ago to teach. At the same time, he was freelancing as a journalist, blogging and taking up social advocacy. He once even tried to arrest Tony Blair for war crimes.

Now he is the editor-in-chief and co-founder of Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP), a not-for-profit media outlet that launched in June this year, and has already hit monthly traffic of almost one million unique visitors.
