"In spite of his relative youth, Steve Paikin seems to have been telling truth to and about power for a very long time. For the past 22 years he's hosted first class current affairs programs on TVO for Between the Lines, Fourth Reading, Studio 2, Diplomatic Immunity and The Agenda With Steve Paikin. Always, always, his perceptive questioning and search for the truth have distinguished his work and made him a preeminent Canadian interviewer.
