Jared Gnam Email & Phone Number

Despite being on my own at 14 years old, I never gave up on my dream to become a journalist. From interviewing Canada's former Official Leader of the Opposition, to getting my articles printed across Canada to New York City to Manila, true grit and determination has allowed me to open doors that other's deemed impossible. I am a freelance journalist with a decade of experience both in full-time and contract-based positions across mainstream and independent news outlets, including Postmedia Network, Glacier Media Group, The Epoch Times and Mugglehead Magazine. I have a passion for politics, economics, science, with a spotlight on cannabis and psychedelics.Equally skilled in tackling breaking news reports as researching investigative stories and features, I have a track record of turning complex assignments into clean copy on tight deadlines. With a small team of journalists in 2019 through 2021, I helped build a tiny digital media outlet, Mugglehead Magazine, into one of the leading news resources within the cannabis and psychedelic industries in Canada and internationally. That's all despite navigating and working remotely during the Covid-19 pandemic. While my skill set is centred around the fundamentals of journalism, I am passionate about people and digging deep to uncover truths and creating a more just world, especially amid the chaos we're all in today.I have some experience in the public relations field with large groups like the Health Sciences Association. I also love traveling, photography and have rekindled my game on the basketball court during the pandemic. Along my journey through journalism, I've worked at around 100 bars, high-end restaurants, hotels and even a strip bar when I was 19, while serving people such as Johnny Depp, Bill Clinton, the Queen of England, but the coolest was Tom Waits.
