Erik Pindera

Reporter

Erik Pindera is a reporter for the Free Press, mostly focusing on crime and justice. The born-and-bred Winnipegger attended Red River College Polytechnic, wrote for the community newspaper in Kenora, Ont. and reported on television and radio in Winnipeg before joining the Free Press in 2020.

Erik has been interested in journalism since childhood, in part due to family members who worked at newspapers and in public radio as well as his general nosiness.

He long wanted to work for the Free Press – where he managed to snag his first internship in December 2017, before another intern stint the following summer.
