About James

James Dunn has been covering news in all areas since moving to Edmonton in July 2021. James graduated from the Radio, Television and Broadcast News program at SAIT in 2020, and broke into the industry as a TV reporter in Fort St. John, B.C., in January 2021. After a few years in radio, James heard TV calling him again and joined CityNews Edmonton in November 2024. Learning and listening are a big part of James’ DNA, whether it’s about the past or present. When James is not working, you can find him kicking back in his lounge chair watching NASCAR or the latest documentary. He's also often hunting down the best bacon cheeseburger in Edmonton. Any tips are appreciated.
