Jayme Poisson joined the I-Team in January 2013. Her first series, with colleague David Bruser, looked at how cheap American handguns make their way to Toronto’s streets.
Previously, Jayme was a general assignment reporter with the newspaper’s city department, where she wrote dozens of stories about alleged civil rights abuses during Toronto’s 2010 G20 weekend and focused on gang and gun violence in the city. In 2011, she wrote a story about a “genderless baby†named Storm that subsequently became the most read story ever on thestar.com.
Jayme has reported for the Star from Kenya and the streets of Cairo during the early weeks of Egypt’s revolution.
In 2013, she was nominated for a National Newspaper award for a story she wrote about a mother whose husband killed their son and himself.
