Jack Knox is an award-losing columnist with the Victoria ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½. Since joining the ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ in 1988, Jack has worked as a copy editor, city editor, editorial writer and editorial page editor. Prior to that he was an editor and reporter at newspapers in Campbell River, Regina and Kamloops.
As a journalist he has debated policy with prime ministers and premiers, and has interviewed a murderer in his cell. He liked the murderer. Career highlights include being blasted with blowhole spray by Luna the whale (it tasted like fish), interviewing a porn movie star in the nude (her, not him) and getting a phone call from Barack Obama four days before he (Obama, not Jack) was elected president.
He is the author of three books, two of which were nominated for the Leacock Medal for Humour.
