December Ask EJ Anything Guest: Columnist Keith Gerein

Another longtime columnist and senior reporter for the Edmonton Journal will join us next month for a new episode of Ask EJ Anything. Keith Gerein.

Born in Calgary (but we won’t hold it against him), Keith has worked for the newspaper for over 20 years and has covered a wide variety of current affairs, including provincial politics and health care, and has spent time in Afghanistan in 2011 as a journalist embedded in the Canadian Forces.

In 2018, Keith took on his final role as an opinion columnist, covering Edmonton issues with a focus on City Hall. He took leave of absence from the Edmonton Journal for eight months during the COVID-19 pandemic to do a scholarship at Massey College on the University of Toronto campus.

Most recently, Keith led an interactive journalism project on inflation and affordability this year.
