Emma Gilchrist | Co-Founder, The Narwhal | Pioneering Environmental Non-Profit Journalism
In this week’s episode, you’ll meet Emma Gilchrist, Editor-in-Chief and Co-Founder of The Narwhal, a pioneer of non-profit journalism in Canada, focused on the coverage of environmental issues. Emma is a reporter, editor and public speaker who started her journalism career more than 15 years ago and went on to launch The Narwhal along with co-founder Carol Linnitt in 2018. She earned a journalism degree from Mount Royal University in Calgary and worked as a reporter and editor in Canada and the U.K., including time at the Calgary Sun and Calgary Herald. It is there that she created a weekly environmental column and website called The Green Guide, which won multiple awards, and ultimately inspired her to create a standalone publication dedicated to the environment. In 2017, Emma was recognized by Canada’s Clean50 for building a “powerhouse environmental investigative journalism outlet.” Welcome to the first episode of our new series, The Politics is Female, where our guests address relevant political issues anchored in current societal conversations.
