Doug SaundersDoug Saunders is the European Bureau Chief of the Globe and Mail and he also writes a popular and award-winning weekly column devoted to the intellectual ideas and social developments behind the news. In the late 1990s he created a special reprting position devoted to media and popular phenomena, which led to his creation in 1999 of a Los Angeles bureau devoted to social and political trends. This work has led him to win the National Newspaper Award, Canada's counterpart to the Pulitzer Prize, on four occasions, a record-breaking three times for his work on social trends in Toronto and Los Angeles and in 2006 for his column, which was recognized as having created a new form of intellectual journalism. He has also been shortlisted for Canada's National Magazine Award. He lives in London with his wife, the writer Elizabeth Renzetti, and their two children. Read More Read Less
