Ashley Wadhwani-Smith

I began my journalistic journey at Black Press Media as a community reporter in my hometown of Maple Ridge, B.C.
I've had the opportunity, to which I feel great gratitude for, to cover important topics that hit home to Canadians, including the ongoing toxic drug crisis, wildfires and major breaking news events.
Today, I serve as editorial director, focusing on amplifying the words of our journalists across Canada and helping build community through our storytelling.
