Perhaps one of the most intriguing positions within the world of media is that of the foreign correspondent. There’s a certain romance to it – you travel around the world, report on stories and world events, and see things that few outsiders get to see. But whatever thrill or excitement the job carries with it, at the end of the day, it’s not many of us who could actually handle leaving behind the comforts of home, and structure, for a chaotic life spent living out of a suitcase and reporting from environments that are often unpredictable and full of turmoil.
But as a correspondent for CBC’s The National, that is exactly the kind of life that Adrienne Arsenault has taken on.
Over the past decade, Adrienne’s reporting has taken her to dozens of countries around the world, and seen her cover some of the most seminal events of the new millennium, including reporting on the Arab Spring in Libya in the midst of the uprising, the aftermath of the Tsunami in Sri Lanka, and the disputed 2008 elections in Zimbabwe.
Her reporting has won four Gemini awards, and she was named the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association's journalist of the year in 2005. Now, in this interview, Adrienne speaks about the unique and somewhat strange lifestyle that comes with being a foreign correspondent, how she started off as a reporter at the CBC, and how seeing world events first hand has impacted her.
