Jay Ashdown

I specialize in fact-checking/research support, reporting on 2SLGBTQ+ rights, and film & arts criticism. I work with a critical eye, to keep your hard work above-board, and to surpass your creative expectations.

I have experience as Head of Research at Toronto Metropolitan University's final-year publication, Review of Journalism, I've helped out with background research and copywriting at the Open Digital Literacy and Access Network, and have published my own social media reporting with Ricochet Media. You can find more of my work in TMU publications Review of Journalism, The Eyeopener, Canculture,and Met Radio.

Now, I'm seeking freelance fact-checking positions from news publications in need of another extra hand on deck.
