Chris Campbell has devoted his working life to one area – community journalism.

“That’s where you feel the heartbeat of a community,” Campbell says.

That devotion has led to a journalism career spanning 35 years as a reporter and editor in places ranging from Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to the upper Fraser Valley and all the way to Victoria — with stops in Surrey, Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the Tri-Cities along the way.

When he’s not obsessing over his beloved Boston Celtics or watching Goodfellas for the 100th time, Campbell is spending time with his adult daughter and travelling the world with his amazing partner.

Campbell says he’s excited to have joined Constellation Media to write for the Surrey Citizen and The Ridge outlets because of the entity’s commitment to mission-driven journalism, and to tell stories that people are talking about on a daily basis.

So if you have a story idea, just let him know.
