Tobin Ng’s Biography

I’m a fact checker, journalist and editor based in Ottawa. I’ve fact-checked articles for The Walrus, Toronto Life, Canada’s History and other magazines, as well as Phoenixed, an award-winning investigative podcast about Canada’s federal payroll disaster. I write arts and culture stories about queer and trans communities for outlets such as Maclean’s, Broadview and This. In my day jobs, I’m a co-ordinator at the Canadian media development organization Journalists for Human Rights (JHR) and a contributing editor at the LGBTQ2S+ magazine Xtra.

I specialize in storytelling that spotlights care, creativity and innovation in LGBTQ2S+ and racialized communities. Whether I’m reviewing a documentary about the legacy of queer and trans activism in Canada or unpacking the latest anti-trans buzzword, my reporting provides deeper social and historical context and dispels misinformation about marginalized people.
