Sierra Bein is the newsletter editor for The Globe and Mail, based in Toronto. She is also the author of Globe Climate, The Globe’s climate change, environment and resources newsletter.
Sierra works closely with The Globe’s flagship newsletters, Morning Update and Business Brief, supporting guest writers, finding coverage that matters most to readers and working behind the scenes to create the best experience for the audience.
Before taking on her current role, Sierra was an editor on The Globe’s programming team. For five years, she worked in digital and print production, curating the stories on the app, homepage, and newspaper. During that time she developed an interest in finding the perfect headline, an aesthetic presentation and digging through analytics.
Sierra cares deeply about making journalism accessible, especially for young readers. She also wants to help make the field of journalism more attainable for young, marginalized journalists, which is why she helped create the mentorship and scholarship program known as Shared Bylines.
Before joining The Globe, Sierra worked with Postmedia and Vice Canada where she was a general reporter. She has also freelanced for Toronto Life, Vice News, and Canadaland. She will always have a soft spot for her time in student journalism at The Eyeopener.
Prior to her life in journalism, Sierra was a piano teacher, skateboarding coach, and worked at her family's restaurant.
