Dennis Storm Clashes with New Revu Editor-in-Chief Over Sustainability Critique
Amsterdam, Netherlands – Former BNN broadcaster Dennis Storm has publicly rebuked Danny Koks, editor-in-chief of New Revu magazine, calling a comment about his sustainability advocacy from Bali a “strange comment.” The exchange occurred during an interview with New Revu regarding Storm’s lifestyle changes and recent book.
Storm,who left BNN to focus on sustainability initiatives in Bali,has frequently commented on environmentally conscious living. In the New revu interview, he criticized consumer habits, specifically citing shopping at stores like Action and Primark, and questioned the necessity of excessive product variety, using adhesive tape as an example. “We just have to stop buying plastic junk at Primark or the Action…Then all those other 938 species [of tape] can go with hearts, unicorns and flags,” he stated.The conflict arose when the interviewer revealed koks’ initial reaction to Storm’s participation in the interview: “Nice, Dennis Storm is going to tell us from Bali how he wants to change the world.”
Storm responded directly, stating, “Then I will just read the editor-in-chief, becuase that is just an assumption.” He further accused the media of prioritizing “Clickbait” over truth, claiming 90 percent of media content falls into that category.
Storm defended his book as being based on “scientific reports,” asserting 95 percent of its content is derived from journalistic conclusions, not personal opinion. He also refuted a narrative that he lives a lavish lifestyle in bali, stating he has “never” flown business class and currently lives modestly.
Currently in the Netherlands for six weeks while his wife applies to international schools in Spain, Storm also clarified his current income sources, stating he works “a few hours a month for a foundation” and has published seven books over the last fifteen years, including one for which he received no advance.
