Meredith MacLeod
Editor + Co-publisher
Meredith MacLeod is a third-generation Hamiltonian and was raised in Binbrook. She graduated from McMaster University before grudgingly leaving Hamilton to get a Master’s degree in journalism from The University of Western Ontario. Meredith was delighted to be hired by the Hamilton Spectator and to buy a house in the Stinson neighbourhood. She spent 12 wonderful years at the Spec, helping to document the unfolding transformation of the city. For the last six years, she’s built a successful freelance career as a writer, editor and university instructor. Meredith is a wife, stepmom and dog mom. To be part of a local, independent team behind a new urban publication for this amazing city is truly a dream come true.
