My name is Sarah Murphy and I’m a journalist based in Hamilton, ON. My interests lie in arts & culture reporting and feature writing, though I’ve been trained in covering all kinds of things from court reporting to community news to the bundle of fun that is Rob Ford’s city council.
Most recently, I was an online editor for Canadian music magazine Exclaim!, but I have also done work for Q and CBC Music. In a past life, I was the arts editor at Wilfrid Laurier University’s student paper The Cord, which sparked an initial interest in journalism and probably permanently damaged my liver.
I was a 2014 graduate of Ryerson’s Master of Journalism program, and my final project was a feature on the evolution of music criticism and the tension between pretentious taste and appreciating pop music.
