Philip Wolf

I’ve been involved with journalism on Vancouver Island for more than 30 years, beginning as a teenage holiday fill-in at the old Cowichan News Leader. Following university, I joined the Cowichan Valley Citizen, then moved to the Nanaimo Daily News, finishing there as managing editor. I’m currently the editor of the PQB News and Vancouver Island Free Daily, as well as hosting a variety of Black Press Media podcasts. Your questions, comments and story ideas are always welcome.
