Emma Graham

Emma Graham is a Canada-based investigative and public-policy reporter known for turning dense documents into clear, accountable reporting. She began her career as a local news journalist in Atlantic Canada, covering municipal politics, courts, and public safety. After several years of deadline work, she moved into broader national coverage, focusing on how governments spend public money and how those decisions affect housing, healthcare access, and community infrastructure.Over the past decade, Emma has built a reputation for careful verification and sourcing, particularly in stories involving procurement, environmental regulation, and service delivery failures. Her work has appeared in major Canadian outlets, where she has investigated everything from cross-jurisdiction program funding to transparency gaps in grant processes. She regularly collaborates with data teams to analyze budgets, contracts, and performance metrics, and she’s earned a strong following for explaining complex issues without losing the human impact.Emma’s newsroom experience includes managing multi-week investigations, coordinating interviews across provinces, and writing enterprise narratives alongside explainers and document-driven reporting. She has led coverage that resulted in public hearings and policy reviews, and she has mentored younger reporters on research workflows, FOI/records requests, and ethical interviewing. Today, she continues to specialize in public interest reporting, with a particular focus on accountability, procurement integrity, and the outcomes Canadians feel in their daily lives.
