🐟 some news 🐟

I have said goodbye to the Tyee! It's hard to believe it's been 10 years since my first story, and I've been itching for some change. Reporting for the rising outlet has been the richest of adventures alongside the most talented colleagues. Thanks to all who followed along.

I always knew Jen St. Denis was Powerful but now it's official: she made the Vanmag power list this year (#19)! It's a thrill being part of @thetyee.ca team with @jenstden.bsky.social and hearing what she's up to. Nice to see journos recognized in this space.

Trying to find a pic of those "fake" posters by the Independent tower in Mount Pleasant advertising a DOA concert and Sunday jazz at the Cellar. They're no longer there. Does anyone happen to have a snap? Perhaps @vanalogueyvr.bsky.social?

I’ve started dabbling with books. My first just came out with UBC Press: “Under the White Gaze" on race, representation, and journalism.

Next up: a very Vancouver non-fiction short story collection for @ecwpress.bsky.social, edited by the one-and-only @jensookfonglee.bsky.social! Stay tuned.

Chris Cheung, Vancouver journalist here! I got my start in local papers before becoming staff at @thetyee.ca. I like surfacing stories about people from different pockets of the region, delving into urban change, inequality, diasporas, and (of course) food.
