Paul Workman

Acclaimed journalist Paul Workman helms CTV NATIONAL NEWS’ international coverage from London, England.

With more than 30 years’ experience in Canadian journalism, Workman has covered a multitude of national and international news events. Reporting from locations throughout Canada, the U.S., Europe, and Asia, Workman has covered notable news events including war in the Middle East, revolutionary changes in Eastern Europe, and the tragic death of Princess Diana.

Starting in 2009, Workman led CTV's extensive coverage of news events in the United States as Washington Bureau Chief. He was previously based in New Delhi as CTV News’ South Asia correspondent, where he covered the efforts of Canadian troops in Afghanistan, the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, and the fall of Pakistan’s former President Gen. Pervez Musharraf.
