Tamara Cherry is a trauma researcher, author, podcast host, and award-winning journalist who spent the bulk of her career as a crime reporter in some of Canada’s largest newsrooms, including the Toronto Star, Toronto Sun, and CTV News Toronto. She is the founder of Pickup Communications, a public relations firm that supports trauma survivors and relevant stakeholders. Her latest book, The Trauma Beat: A Case for Re-Thinking the Business of Bad News, was described in a Quill & Quire starred review as “a stunning work that should be required reading for journalism students, news reporters, true crime junkies, and anyone who wants to write narratives that heal, instead of harm.” Part-memoir, part-journalism, The Trauma Beat draws on the experiences of more than 100 trauma survivors — from homicides to traffic fatalities, sexual violence to mass violence. Tamara's podcast, also called The Trauma Beat, further explores some of the themes presented in the book. Tamara is also the author of All the Bumpy Pebbles, a novel about domestic sex trafficking that was inspired by the stories shared with her by survivors. Tamara is a regular voice on Newstalk 1010 radio in Toronto and across the iHeart Radio Talk Network. She lives in Regina, Saskatchewan with her partner and three kids.
