Christie Blatchford

Christie Blatchford is a Canadian newspaper columnist.

Blatchford studied journalism at Ryerson University in Toronto, and wrote for the campus newspaper, The Eyeopener. She subsequently worked as a sports reporter for the Globe and Mail, and as a columnist at the Toronto Star, before moving to the tabloid paper, the Toronto Sun. She remained at the Sun for almost twenty years, first as a lifestyle columnist, and then as a city columnist featured on page five of the paper. She was hired away by the National Post when it was launched, but when the Post floundered in recent years, she moved to take up a columnist's job at The Globe and Mail.
