My first published article in a newspaper was back in October of 1980. That means my writing career has now reached 46 years. I've saved every single media pass - more than 700 of them -I got over those years. #journalism #writing

Educate yourself about #OrangeShirtDay and the #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation. I've been very fortunate in recent years to have the majority of my articles published in #Indigenous publications.

Being a writer I support print journalism and buy as many newspapers as I can. A sampling from my current east coast travels. #newspapers #printjournalism #journalism

Most people remember November 1, 2025 as the most heartbreaking loss in Toronto Blue Jays history. For my debut piece for Toronto.com, I wrote about how a Blue Jays player — only hours removed from the most devastating moment of their career — offered me a touching moment of humility and kindess. toronto.com/news/jeff-hoffma…
