Alex Strachan has written extensively about television since 1995. He was the staff television critic for
The Vancouver Sun from June 1995 to 2003. Prior to that, he was a general-assignment reporter and sportswriter at the
Sun, which he originally joined in 1979. He became the national TV critic for Canada’s Postmedia News chain, or Canwest Global Communications as it was then called, in September 2003. He wrote for the chain from 2003-15, during which time his stories appeared regularly on
Canada.com and in such daily papers as the
National Post, Vancouver Sun, Montreal Gazette, Ottawa Citizen and
Calgary Herald. In recent years, his writing has focused more on media analysis and industry trends than celebrity profiles and background features, but he still finds time to watch
The Voice and
The Amazing Race, not to mention guilty pleasures like
Banshee and
Amazon Hotel. Check out Alex's TV website,
The Televisionary, for reviews, in-depth interviews, and opinion pieces. Also,
Alex's personal website focuses on his concern for the world around us through his stunning photographs from his world travels. In addition, check out Alex's
