About David P. Ball

I BELIEVE IN JOURNALISTS' DUTY TO INFORM, IMPACT & DEFEND DEMOCRACY

I am a reporter with CBC News, Canada's public broadcaster, in Vancouver.

I have experience in podcasting, radio and video storytelling, photojournalism, investigative & digital news.

BYLINES:

CBC. Toronto Star. Agence France-Presse. Globe & Mail. VICE. The Guardian. The Tyee. National Post. South China Morning Post. Times of India.

Previously B.C. correspondent for Agence France-Presse, the world's oldest news service, I also worked in the Toronto Star's B.C. bureau for four years, have hosted podcasts for CFRO 100.5fm and Cited Media, and did investigative and enterprise journalism at TheTyee.ca.

My work has been published in the Globe & Mail, The Guardian, National Post, South China Morning Post, VICE, Le Monde, and the Times of India — and won awards from the Canadian Association of Journalists, Jack Webster Foundation, and Canadian Journalism Foundation.
