Every activist knows that journalists who are willing to cover serious animal stories are all too rare, but this week we will be talking to someone who has carved out a career doing exactly that. Freelance journalist and animal advocate Jessica Scott-Reid shares her experience in the world of animal-related journalism.

Jessica Scott-Reid is a freelance journalist and animal advocate. She has been writing about animal rights and welfare, climate change, vegan culture, and plant-based foods for nearly a decade. Her work is regularly featured in mainstream media across Canada and beyond, such as The Globe and Mail and Toronto Star, as well as in advocacy publications like Sentient Media and Planet Friendly News. She was the co-host of the Paw and Order Podcast and the mother to one daughter, two dogs, and a rescued fish and snail.
