Patrick’s current focus is reporting on dis- and misinformation, including generative AI and its impact on our information landscape.

Why did you become a journalist?

I've always been lead by curiosity and a desire to know the how and why behind events. The first time I accessed a feed of wire stories it was nirvana; a never-ending supply of the new, why and how. It's been an enormous responsibility and privilege to handle visuals for some of the defining news events of recent decades, from 9/11 to the Parliament Hill shooting and devastating wildfires in recent summers.
