OTTAWA – CTV News has tapped Laurie Graham as its acting Ottawa bureau chief to replace current Ottawa bureau chief Robert Fife who is leaving for a role at the Globe and Mail.
Graham (pictured) was previously Ottawa deputy bureau chief for CTV News, where she worked alongside Fife providing in-depth coverage of the machinations of Parliament Hill. Her new role is effective January 1, 2016.
Fife will remain at CTV as host of Question Period and will continue as Ottawa bureau chief until the end of the year. He is returning to his roots in the newspaper industry as Ottawa bureau chief for the Globe and Mail.
"Laurie has an acute political sensibility and extensive understanding of government," said CTV News president Wendy Freeman, in Thursday's announcement. "We offer our congratulations to Bob on his new role, and look forward to continuing to work with him as host of Question Period."
