Maggie Macintosh

Education reporter

Maggie Macintosh got her start in journalism delivering newspapers door-to-door with a wagon she wheeled around her Hamilton, Ont. neighbourhood.

A decade later, in December 2017, she stepped into the Winnipeg Free Press newsroom. That’s when she got her first front-page story in a daily newspaper, frostbite and, fairly quickly, fell for Winnipeg — a city just as gritty and underestimated as the one she’s from.

Maggie is a bilingual English/French graduate of the School of Journalism at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University). She appreciates alliteration and tips on anything education-related.

Funding for the Free Press education reporter comes from the Government of Canada through the Local Journalism Initiative.
