After 45 years of chasing deadlines, 33 at @LFPress, only one week left of newspaper work. Not enough room to thank everyone especially those who let me write about their lives and my workmates. I’ll be around. It’s been a riot! #ldnont

Hello! I am about to start teaching data-driven journalism @centennialjourn, which is daunting and exciting (in an order that’s constantly flipping back and forth). Please, if you’ve done this before, alert me via DM to ways not to embarrass myself—and even excel!

Some personal news: I'm joining @the_logic as a reporter based here in Ottawa. There's room for more investigative, deeply-reported journalism about tech, innovation and policymaking in Canada, and I plan to produce at least some of it

Congrats Fariha @CanadianMomEh on the new gig!

Just put to bed my final paper as editor at @yukon_news. Definitely feels a little weird, but it's been an absolute blast working with everyone at the paper. Newspapers matter and I'm so grateful to all our readers for sticking with us.
