The Standard is a collective who saw a gap in the New Zealand political blogosphere and decided that they should have a go at filling it. “The Standard newspaper – from where our masthead comes – was founded by labour movement activists in the 1930s. They used it as a vehicle to share their views with a broader audience – a perspective they felt the mainstream media was representing poorly. We think the same is true today.” thestandard.org.nz
Lynn Prentice runs The Standard, a collective of left-leaning authors who write varied opinion on the issues of the day and decade. Lynn's role is to act as the technical and organisational hub as the system operator; a type of role that he has been doing in some form or another for most of the last 30 years. As a collective they foster moderated, robust and opinionated debate both in the authors posts and in the commenting community to create a must-read site for political debate.
