Hana Gartner

Hana Gartner (born 1948 in Prague, Czechoslovakia) is a multiple award-winning Canadian television investigative journalist, best known as the host/interviewer of several programs for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

She currently resides with her son Gar, daughter Samm, and husband Bruce Griffin in Toronto, Canada.

Early years

Gartner grew up in Chomedey, Laval, and was educated at Loyola College (now Concordia University), in Montreal Quebec. She graduated "cum laude". She began her career as a radio host at Montreal's CJAD in 1970, and joined the CBC as a TV news anchor in 1974.

Career

In 1976, she was host of CBC Radio's "This Country in the Morning", replacing Judy LaMarsh. The following year, she moved to television, as a cohost of both the CBC's local newscast in Toronto and the network's afternoon public affairs program "Take 30". (Previous hosts of "Take 30" had included Mary Lou Finlay, Moses Znaimer and Adrienne Clarkson.)

In 1982, Gartner became co-host of the CBC's prime time TV newsmagazine, "the fifth estate".

In 1994, she was given an interview series, "Contact with Hana Gartner", to showcase a different side of her journalistic skills than the investigative reporting of "the fifth estate". In 1995, she was named co-host of "Prime Time News" after Pamela Wallin's departure from that newscast.

In 2000, Gartner returned to "the fifth estate".

Awards

Gartner has won three Gemini Awards, and has been nominated 18 times in Gemini hosting, anchoring, and interviewing categories during her career. She has also twice won the special Gemini Gordon Sinclair Award for excellence in broadcast journalism in 1985, and again in 2006.
