WINNIPEG – APTN is readying the 10th season of Canada’s only Indigenous investigative news program APTN Investigates that will kick off October 5.

Founded in 2008 by veteran journalist Paul Barnsley, the half-hour show offers viewers hard-hitting investigative reports and stories that change lives. APTN Investigates now has more than 150 episodes to date, and has garnered more than 20 national awards, including six Canadian Association of Journalists awards for 2017 as well as a Canadian Screen Award, among other honours.

This year’s team features Rob Smith in Vancouver, Cullen Crozier in Yellowknife, John Murray in Edmonton and Trina Roache in Halifax, while the Winnipeg-based crew includes producer Holly Moore, shooter-editor Josh Grummett, researcher/writer Martha Troian and reporter Christopher Read. 

Barnsley will also curate a series of retrospective episodes “from the vault” that will launch on October 7.  From residential school survivors to the drinking water debacle of Bruce Carson, he will provide updates and insights into how the stories came together.
