Globe and Mail hires Graney to cover energy, business

Emma Graney

The Toronto Globe and Mail has hired Emma Graney as a reporter to cover energy and business.

Graney has been working at the Edmonton Journal covering provincial affairs. She is also host of long-running weekly Alberta politics podcast, The Press Gallery.

Her journalism career began at a daily newspaper in Northern New South Wales, Australia, where her habit of jumping head-first into stories led to her hiking 100 kilometers through mountainous jungle in Papua New Guinea, selling a raffle ticket to then-prime minister John Howard and being crowned 2004 Jacaranda Holiday Princess.

In Canada, she has worked at Legal Aid in Vancouver, was the first female editor of the Northern Pen newspaper in St. Anthony, Newfoundland, and covered Saskatchewan politics for the Regina Leader-Post.

Last year, she traveled to China to explore the Asian economic superpower’s race to be the world leader in artificial intelligence, and the opportunities and implications that presents for Canada’s AI startups and innovation clusters.
