    Reporter

    Aleksandra Sagan is The Logic’s Vancouver correspondent. She spent more than four years as a business reporter at The Canadian Press, where she covered technology, retail and food and agriculture. She’s broken news about the relaunch of Carrot Rewards, has covered the deployment of technology in the Canadian grocery wars, and has reported on Big Tech’s expanding Vancouver footprint. She was previously a senior writer at CBC. In 2018 she was the co-recipient of the R. James Travers Foreign Corresponding Fellowship, which saw her and a Canadian Press colleague travel to India and South Africa to report on antimicrobial resistance. Their six-part series on superbugs won the Canadian Association of Journalists’ Don McGillivray Award for best investigative piece.
