Jonathan MacInnis
Jonathan MacInnis reports for CTV News with a focus on technology and on stories that connect new developments and everyday life. His work crosses between the technology beat and community features, giving his coverage a grounded, people-first angle rather than a purely industry view.
Technology beat coverage
On the technology beat, MacInnis covers developments in technology for a general audience. He writes for viewers and readers who need clear explanations of what is new and why it matters, rather than insider or technical detail, and keeps the emphasis on practical relevance over jargon.
Community event features like the tulip festival
Alongside his technology reporting, MacInnis also writes feature-style stories on local initiatives and events. His piece on the inaugural tulip festival in Upper Onslow, N.S., presents the festival as a “blooming success,” underlining the appeal of the event and its place in the community calendar. The story focuses on the achievement of launching a new festival and the positive tone in the headline signals his interest in outcomes that matter to residents rather than controversy for its own sake.
Straightforward, descriptive framing
MacInnis uses clear, descriptive headlines that tell audiences exactly what the story is about and how it turned out, as in his tulip festival coverage. The language is plain and concrete, foregrounding the central subject and result so readers can quickly see why the story is worth their time.
This direct style, applied to both technology topics and local features, makes his work accessible to non-specialists while still serving audiences who follow developments on his beat.
