Janet Stewart

Host, Radio Noon: Winnipeg

Janet Stewart prides herself on being authentic and down to earth. She cares deeply about the people of Manitoba. You can see that empathy in the way she tells stories and conducts interviews. Since moving to the province from Nova Scotia in 2001, she has made connecting with others in the community a top priority. 2024 brought with it the 30th anniversary of Janet beginning her career in television news. She marked the occasion by asking to host CBC Radio Noon for a year. She's grateful for the opportunity to hone different broadcasting skills, and stop wearing blazers.

Why reporting on suicide is never easy

Suicides and bomb threats. Two things newsrooms always debate before reporting. Why? Traditional thinking is you don’t want to encourage others to try it, just to get attention. You have to have a darn good reason to argue successfully for reporting either one.
