Jimmy Thomson is the managing editor of Capital Daily. He is a multimedia journalist who has worked in every Arctic country, reporting on climate change, Indigenous communities, wildlife, and resources. His work has appeared in CBC, The Narwhal, Vice, The Globe and Mail, the Toronto Star, and many others. He is a recent grantee of the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting and has received more than a dozen awards from Canadian and international bodies. Jimmy sits on the board of the Canadian Association of Journalists, where he co-chairs the Advocacy Committee, which is trying to make government more transparent, among other initiatives. He used to write and edit for the Syrup Trap, a wildly popular satire site that published headlines like “Corb Lund euthanized after breaking a leg at the Calgary Stampede.” Before he was a journalist, he studied sea slug brains on Vancouver Island, then worked as a guide and polar bear guard in the polar regions. When he’s not working he’s hanging with his niece or skiing on the North Island; someday he hopes to combine the two.
