Robyn Doolittle is an award-winning journalist and author. She joined the Globe and Mail’s investigative team in April 2014 after spending nearly a decade reporting for the Toronto Star. Doolittle’s probe of former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s troubled personal life won the 2014 Michener Award and her book on the subject, “Crazy Town; The Rob Ford Story” was a national bestseller. At the Globe, Doolittle’s investigation into how Canadian police services handle sexual assault cases has prompted a national overhaul of policy, training and practices around sexual violence, with police services vowing to review tens of thousands of previously closed cases.​
