I’m David Topping, and I’m a Toronto-based journalist: I’m a staff writer at The Grid. Before that, I was the long-time editor of Torontoist, and, more briefly, the Toronto Editor of OpenFile. I’ve written for the Globe and Mail and the Toronto Standard. I also taught online journalism at the University of Toronto’s School of Continuing Studies. You might also remember me from this thing.

You can follow me on Twitter @dtopping or bug me at dstopping@gmail.com. I’m also on LinkedIn, with some reservations.

That illustration of me above is by the talented Johnnie Walker; in real life, I am not a cartoon.
