12. Jason Magder
Designation Author Author Bio I blame Red Fisher. As a die-hard Habs fan, I caught the journalism bug as a kid by reading The Gazette’s sports pages. I finally got my dream job in 2007. Nowadays, I can often be found sampling coffee and croissants at an independent café. Between bites, I write about transit, City Hall and general news subjects. I often don a hard hat to check out the city’s myriad construction sites.

13. Frédéric Tomesco
Designation Author Author Bio Now that COVID-19 no longer dominates the headlines, I spend most of my time writing about business and economic topics for the Gazette. I joined the paper in 2019 after more than two decades with the Bloomberg News agency, whose Montreal bureau I opened following stints in New York and Paris. In a previous life I was a freelance rock critic, won two magazine awards and once worked as an extra for the Opéra de Montréal’s production of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Fidelio.

19. Herb Zurkowsky
Designation Author Author Bio I'm a grizzled veteran and Toronto native. I've been at the Montreal Gazette since 1978, covering a variety of sports, but am best known as the Alouettes' beat reporter since 1997. I was inducted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame (media wing) in 2008, although boxing remains my favourite sport to cover because that's where you get the best stories. And I'm a dog lover at heart.

20. Allison Hanes
Designation Author Author Bio I started at The Montreal Gazette in 2000 as an intern. Since then I have covered the National Assembly and courts, worked on the assignment desk and written editorials, before debuting as city columnist in 2017. When I’m not comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable, I like to ski, read, walk my fur baby and cheerlead at my kids’ various sporting activities (as long as I promise not to embarrass them).

26. Susan Schwartz
Designation Author Author Bio We used typewriters when I started at The Gazette, and big black rotary phones. Nearly everyone smoked. Today’s newsroom looks different but the work – reporting and informing my readers – remains constant and rewarding. I am grateful to my adviser at McGill, where I was a neurobiology major, for steering me to journalism. Undoubtedly, he realized I wasn’t cut out for neurobiology.
