Zenith Wolfe is an academic intern for The Globe and Mail's arts desk.

He is an Ottawa-based reporter who specializes in arts reporting and compassionate, person-first storytelling. Since he started his journalism career in 2022, he's written for local papers such as CBC Ottawa, La Converse, and Ottawa Business Journal; national publications including Cottage Life, La Scena Musicale and Canadian Jewish News; and international papers like The Stranger.

Zenith's recent reporting has focused on Reconciliation for Indigenous communities across Canada, including through language revitalization projects and music. He's a member of the Jewish community who's written about the opening of new Chabad centres, the passings of important arts philanthropists, and Canadian court cases about antisemitism. His mini-documentary about the accessibility of Carleton University's campus to students with disabilities, co-produced with Caelan Monkman and Martin Halek, won gold in the Marginalized Community Reporting category of the 2026 John H. MacDonald (JMH) Awards for Excellence in Student Journalism.

When he's not working, Zenith enjoys reading, biking, and playing video games.

Why did you become a journalist?

I chose to go into journalism because it gives me the opportunity to stay curious, learn about new things, and meet fascinating people. Asking questions to figure out how something works, then explaining that thing to someone else, is one of my life's greatest joys.
