Thanks for visiting my personal blog.
I’m the Managing Editor of CBCNews.ca, Canada’s most popular news site. I joined CBC News in September 2010. Previously, I was the senior editor, digital news, for the Toronto Star, including thestar.com and its affiliated sites: healthzone.ca, parentcentral.ca and yourhome.ca. Other than the Star, I’ve worked at the Hamilton Spectator and the London Free Press. I also worked as a student at the Kingston Whig Standard, Barrie Examiner and Globe and Mail.
I did my first degree at Queen’s University, where I’m still involved in the Alumni Review. Then, I went on to do a journalism degree at Ryerson University in Toronto.
I’m passionate about online news. My background is hard news and newspapers, but the last three years in digital have made me a die-hard online convert, not that I have to be an either/or.
I was born and raised on a small farm outside Alliston, Ont, (potato capital of Ontario, and proud of it), learned how to read music before I could read the printed word and I’ve run three marathons (but I don’t have time for that just now!).
Congratulations Marissa on all of your success.

I will definately check out the websites that you mentioned in your blog.
Check you!!! Very, very proud of all your success! Remember all those years ago you helped with my teaching application form…I hope the Marmite and Lady Grey made up for it!!!
Hey Marissa!
Congrats! Noticed your byline on a fine shot of a burning police car from the T.O. G20 riots.
I’ll have to try and follow what you’re up to.
I’m sending you this e-mail from a motel in Kenora. I’m just returning from an almost five week tour of Canada and the U.S. in my 42-year-old Morgan. All went smoothly except for a brief sojourn in the hospital in Sonoma — I say it was the wine and the doctors say it was my faulty heart — oh, and a slight collision with a 4×4 that took out my bumper.
Do hope we bump into one another sometime, Love to chat,
Cheers,

Oops!
Sorry Marissa, I left the 1 (one) off my website and sent you off to London, U.K., instead of Ontario.
Damn silly old coot! Right?
Cheers!
