As a multi-award-winning journalist who has spent a life trafficking in stories — reading, writing, reporting, teaching, speaking, performing — Craig Pearson has a flair for the written word so vital to successful reporters and essayists.
Pearson has a well-rounded reporting background, having covered pretty much every issue imaginable in a 24-year career at three daily papers, including on the provincial campaign trail and as a war correspondent in Afghanistan.
Pearson has served as a long-time general-assignment reporter, with stints in a smorgasbord of beats. And he has often wielded opinion with various columns and blogs over the years, at the Sherbrooke Record, the Montreal Daily News, and the Windsor Star, where he writes his unique Pearson to Person perspective in the paper and online.
He doesn’t shy away from any issue or reporting situation, from skydiving and bungee jumping to covering riots and visiting crack houses.
He holds a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a master’s degree in communication studies, has written for three daily papers, has taught writing and reporting for more than a decade at the University of Windsor, has won several awards, speaks French, keeps fit and basks in current affairs.
He has an interest in many media: print, film, television, photography, video and the Internet. He is a former radio announcer who has done some acting, lots of public speaking and recently, net news casting. With equal parts compassion and daring, Pearson’s reports are detailed, sometimes offbeat, but always a great read.
