CANADIAN JOURNALIST; GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
RAW YET REALISTIC, CULTURALLY SENSITIVE STORYTELLING
Great stories are about regular people. Let's find the humanity behind the worlds' largest headlines.
ABOUT ME
My name is Molly Thomas and I’m a Canadian Broadcaster who strives for greater global understanding and compassion in every story I bring to the airwaves. My career as a Host, Correspondent, and Producer has taken me to all three major Canadian news networks and 12 countries around the globe.
I completed an MA in Global Affairs from the Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto (’16) and a BA in Journalism from the University of Regina ('10). I believe a contextualized view of the world will better equip me to report on diverse people groups and complex issues.
