Matthias Johnson

Matthias J. Johnson has been a professional writer for over 12 years, in which the last few have directed him more towards journalism and broadcasting.

Matthias has written nearly 300 radio broadcasts that have aired in five countries around the world to over two million listeners. That revenue made way for the opportunity to host an interview with Jordan Peterson in Red Deer, Alberta, as well as writing news segments for a video series called “True Hero” put out by Vision Recording Co.

His experience and workflow eventually brought him to Thompson, Manitoba as a journalist and editor for the Thompson Citizen where he can serve the community honorably, presenting truth and representing citizens properly and respectfully.
