Stories are more important than food, for they teach us how to live.
– Muslim proverb

Behind the immediacy of breaking news are tales of achievement, loss and courage that endure long after the dramatic headlines fade away. These stories are found in the humblest as well as the most influential of individuals.

Magazine writer and editor Roberta Staley brings to light such stories of the human condition, whether they originate in her own community or from remote places around the globe. Encompassing medicine, business, science, the arts, human rights and the environment, Staley’s work has garnered numerous journalism awards. She has also been recognized for editing. Under Staley’s direction, the national publication Enterprise won Best Trade Magazine at the Western Magazine Awards for an unprecedented six years in a row. During Staley’s tenure, Enterprise became a ‘must read’ for credit union executives, managers and directors at the forefront of innovation and client services in Canada's financial sector.

Whether Staley is editing a magazine for a billion-dollar corporation or reporting from a Soweto AIDS clinic or a remote Cambodian village, the result is always engaging, engrossing and of the highest standard.
