COLUMN: Unearthing the heart of community stories
In the bustling world of 24-hour news cycles and global headlines, I’ve found my calling in the quiet corners of local communities. As the new assistant managing editor at Black Press Media’s Victoria hub, I’m driven by a simple yet powerful belief: every community has a story worth telling, and it’s our job to uncover it.
My journey in journalism has been guided by an unwavering passion for unearthing the narratives that shape our neighbourhoods, celebrate local triumphs, and illuminate the paths to new opportunities for our residents. It’s not about the byline or the accolades; it’s about the impact these stories have on the very fabric of our community.
One of the recent stories I worked on before joining Black Press that exemplifies this passion for me is the tale of Victoria’s Kahler family, whose combined 140-plus years of service in the Canadian Armed Forces paints a vivid picture of our nation’s history and values. From Second World War veterans to modern-day service members, their legacy spans generations and embodies the very essence of commitment and patriotism. Sharing stories such as this one not only honours individual sacrifices but also weaves the broader tapestry of our national identity.
