Scott Feschuk to host National Magazine Awards

Author, columnist and two-time National Magazine Award humor writing winner Scott Feschuk is to host this year's Magawards gala in Toronto on June 6. It is the fourth time he has been the host.

“Magazines are so essential to people in our society, especially those who are waiting patiently for their colonoscopy,” Feschuk said.“In the end, I just couldn’t say no to hosting a celebration for which most expense will be spared.”

Scott Feschuk is a partner in the speechwriting and communications firm Feschuk.Reid. He was chief speechwriter to the Rt. Hon. Paul Martin during his time as prime minister. Scott has written for the Globe and Mail, the National Post and CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes. His third book, The Future and Why We Should Avoid It, will be published this fall. He currently writes a column for Maclean’s and Sportsnet magazines.
