Kimberley Noble is a multiple-award-winning journalist for investigative and feature stories that explored the how things really work in corporate Canada’s corridors of power. She was former long-time staff writer for The Globe and Mail and Maclean’s Magazine, and won the National Newspaper Awards for Business Reporting for her coverage of both the Edper Group (the forerunner of the conglomerate now known as Brookfield) and of the big money behind the Canada-U.S. softwood lumber dispute. She was also nominated for two additional NNAs for series about executive compensation and white-collar crime; among other awards were a business writing prize for an investigative profile of Frank Stronach and a Professional Writers Association of Canada feature writing award for an analytical story about sentencing of Garth Drabinsky.
At present she is teaching Media Studies at the University of Guelph-Humber and was at the Media Ecology Association’s 20th Annual Conference last week researching a project on the resilient legacy of Marshall McLuhan. And she was in my audience when I presented my paper A McLuhan-syntonic Approach to Computer Literacy: Toppling the Pillars of Cyberspace.
We hit it off immediately and, after the conference, sat in a small coffee shop on the west-side of Toronto’s downtown to discuss the convention, media theory, and the changing shape of modern journalism. Grab a nice foamy latte and join us!
