Robert Fulford, the renowned Canadian journalist, author, magazine editor, and Macdonald-Laurier Institute advisory council member has passed away at the age of 92.
The Macdonald-Laurier Institute was sad to hear of Robert’s passing. He was a giant within Canada’s media landscape for many decades. He began his storied career at just 16 years old as a copy editor for the Globe and Mail but throughout the later half of the 20th-century he wrote for all the Toronto papers and magazines, and he even hosted a show on TVO.
In 1999 he started writing a column for the National Post which was only recently retired.
As Joseph Brean wrote: “As a critic and essayist, his expertise spanned art, literature, architecture and music. As a columnist on current affairs, he grappled with some of the most urgent questions in Canadian justice and politics. His famously clear prose was the product of fastidious rewriting, always at least twice, a rule he shared with the generations of younger writers he edited and mentored.”
