On the top of this high-level UN consulting, Dr Jonathan London runs tow two blogs addressing politics and society in Vietnam. These include an eponymous English language blog and Xin lỗi Ông (‘Excuse me Sir’) the first and only political blog written by a foreign in Vietnamese. The blog have powerfully demonstrated the influence of new media. Since establishing the blogs in 2013, Dr London’s blogging has registered millions of page views, both through the main sites (60,000 views and 300,000 since 2014) and numerous aggregating sites in Vietnam and overseas that feature his writing. The blogs have been directly quoted by leading newspapers, such as The Wall Street Journal.
