JAELA BERNSTIEN

Journalist Portfolio

Hello! 

​

I'm a bilingual (English/français) journalist based in Montreal, Quebec. While my home is now in the city, I grew up in the countryside outside the small village of Stirling, Ontario. 

​

I am a multimedia journalist, meaning that I craft and produce stories for digital/print, radio and video/TV. I also often shoot and edit my own video content.  

I'm currently working as a freelancer, covering a range of topics ranging from human rights to wildlife conservation. I previously spent eight years as a reporter for CBC News, with my work airing regularly on the national broadcaster's regional and national programming including TV, radio, web and social media.

​

In my career I've had the opportunity to explore much of Quebec and parts of Nunavik, covering a range of stories: I've reported live from flood zones, corruption trials, and election nights; I've been on the frontlines of protests during Quebec's Printemps érable and the G7 summit; I've even crawled through a newly opened ice-age cavern beneath Montreal.

If you have a pitch don't hesitate to get in touch!
