Ben Fenlon

My career in journalism began in the U.K., working as a senior reporter for three bi-weekly newspapers. I quickly learnt that no day is ever the same in local news. One day youÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™re reporting on a community protest against unwanted development, the next youÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™re chatting to the family whose heroic cat saved the life of their choking toddler!

Now living in Victoria with my husband, IÏã½¶ÊÓÆµÖ±²¥™m excited to get involved in the Greater Victoria region, helping locals to share their stories.
