Area of Expertise

Telecom industry, cryptocurrencies, Access to Information requests
Alexandra Posadzki covers the telecom industry for the Report on Business. She joined the ROB in August 2017, after spending about three years covering banking and real estate for the Canadian Press. She has a Master of Journalism degree from Ryerson University, an honours B.A. in psychology and literature from York University and has completed the Canadian Securities Course. She previously worked at the Toronto Star, Business News Network, Global News and The Globe's B.C. bureau. Her passion lies in using investigative techniques, including Access to Information requests, to produce enterprise journalism that looks beyond the surface of daily news. She has reported considerably on Canada's burgeoning cryptocurrency industry, including co-writing a series of investigative features on the collapse of Canada's once-largest cryptocurrency exchange, QuadrigaCX.

Why did you become a journalist?

It happened quite by accident. Originally, I had intended to become a lawyer. But I always loved writing and fell in love with journalism while running the student newspaper, the Excalibur, at York University back in 2009.
