Rebecca Medel

Journalist and News Editor

Canada

I like to write articles about things that make me wonder: Is Eskimos an offensive sports team name? Are zoo animals treated properly? Why do students choose to become sugar babies?

The great thing about being a journalist is I get to do the research, talk to the right people and find out the answers—not just for me, but for readers who might not have known they were wondering the same thing.

I've been honoured with winning four Alberta journalism awards for feature articles I've written.
