Wednesday, May 07, 2014 >> HOW'D YOU GET THAT JOB? SAMARA INTERVIEWS ALTHIA RAJ, HUFFPO'S OTTAWA BUREAU CHIEF

I originally wanted to be a foreign service officer. Two stints at DFAIT and the Canadian Mission at the United Nations later, I realized that memo writing wasn't for me and that I missed the interaction with the public. I like sharing what I've learned with others and trying to find engaging ways to inform readers/listeners/viewers or to get them to care about something. It's an interesting challenge.

I fell into journalism a little by accident. I was a big CBC radio fan and I applied for a Gzowski internship when I was at McGill. A recruiter I met while I was at the CBC ended up introducing me to some folks at the CBC in Ottawa and that's really where I got my start.

I was working at Postmedia in the national bureau really enjoying what I was doing there and just coming off the rush of covering the then Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff's campaign when HuffPost approached me. The more I spoke with them, the more interested I became in joining something new and exciting (first truly web newspaper on the Hill), the possibility of building a bureau out of nothing, and working with talented and interesting people who were passionate about engaging readers in new ways.

Unlike most of my colleagues, I don't have a journalism degree.

Based in Ottawa, Althia Raj was previously a national political reporter for Postmedia News.
