Gut Instinct: The Making of an Investigative Journalist

Julie Rekai Rickerd is a Toronto-based broadcaster and public-relations
consultant.

Investigative journalist Victor Malarek is a three-time winner of the
Michener Award for “meritorious public service journalism.” Gut
Instinct is a riveting account of the events that led to the breaking of
some of his biggest stories.

The targets of Malarek’s pit-bull approach to journalism have ranged
far and wide. His work has focused attention on the plight of the
Iranian Kurds under the Ayatollah, irregularities in External Affairs
over the granting of refugee status to alleged terrorists, legal fraud
on Bay Street, and the horror of African refugee camps. Reliving this
fearless journalist’s quest for front-page news is a stimulating and
informative experience.
