Ottawa Citizen

I worked as a staff reporter at the Ottawa Citizen from Sept. 2004 - Sept. 2005. During that time I covered hundreds of stories that appeared in all sections of the paper: World, Canada, City, Arts, Sports, Business, Tech Weekly and The Observer, our weekend supplement.

The Citizen is part of CanWest, the largest chain of newspapers in Canada. Several of these stories have also appeared in the following papers: National Post, Montreal Gazette, Windsor Star, Regina Leader-Post, Saskatoon Star Phoenix, Calgary Herald, Edmonton Journal, Vancouver Sun, Vancouver Province and Victoria Times-Colonist.
