Aalia Adam

Aalia Adam Born and raised in Montreal, Aalia discovered her passion for storytelling at 16 years old, when she travelled to southern Africa and was inspired to create a documentary on HIV-AIDS. By 17, she was interning at Global Montreal and got hired as a reporter just shy of completing her journalism degree at Concordia in 2012. While working at Global Montreal, she covered major news stories such as the Lac-Megantic train derailment, federal and provincial elections, and Nelson Mandela’s funeral in South Africa. 

Looking to diversify her experience, she spent a year reporting on live breaking news for Breakfast Television Montreal and then went on to work as a reporter for CTV Montreal. After moving to Toronto, she reunited with Global News as an online video journalist and the host and anchor of Global News Weekend.
