Anne Kingston: Her beat was life
Anne Kingston died this week. She was a senior writer at Maclean's for 14 years who reported fearlessly no matter the assignment. Sarmishta Subramanian, who collaborated with Anne for two decades, remembered her good friend in a heart-rending tribute.
Anne was a voracious polymath who wrote with equal passion, depth and intelligence about political leaders, budgets, health policy, business, divorce, murder, literature, cauliflower and shoes. Her curiosity was inexhaustible, and she defied pigeonholing—in subject or ideology or approach. “Everything connects,” her Twitter bio begins, and in Anne’s work, it did. Her beat was life; nothing else could contain her.
