1980 - 1982 ASK AN ALUMNUS
ADAM MAYERS
Investing and Personal Finance Editor, Toronto Star Diploma, 1978 Fondest memory of City? Probably the friends I made there whom I’m still in touch with such as Dave Brindle and Alan Travis who both work at the Guardian. The course wasn’t even a masters back then so there was only 12 or 14 of us. Most memorable interview? I’ve done four books about ocean racing and sailing. I got to talk to people like Sir Robert Know Johnston and some of the great pioneers. I followed a Canadian who was in the solo ocean racing, because it was the early days of the internet we could really follow his journey.

LISTINGS - ALL.indd 88
What’s your favourite thing about your job? Helping people with their day-today affairs. We recently had a situation where people were not getting the correct pension benefits from the government because they hadn’t filled the form out correctly. When we intervene we have a presence that people listen to. What’s the most valuable journalism advice you’ve ever received? The first thing you need is curiosity, The second thing would be fairness. The third thing would be perseverance. ANNA MATHESON
