Hana Gartner
Hana Gartner (born 1948 in Prague, Czechoslovakia) is a Canadian television journalist, who has hosted a variety of programs for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Gartner was educated at Loyola College (now Concordia University), in Montreal, Quebec. She began her career as a radio host at Montreal's CJAD in 1970, and joined the CBC in 1974.
In 1976, she was host of CBC Radio's This Country in the Morning , replacing Judy LaMarsh. The following year, she moved to television, as a cohost of both the CBC's local newscast in Toronto and the network's afternoon public affairs program Take 30 . (Previous hosts of Take 30 had included Mary Lou Finlay, Moses Znaimer and Adrienne Clarkson.)
In 1982, Gartner became co-host of the CBC's prime time newsmagazine, the fifth estate.
In 1994, she was given an interview series, Contact with Hana Gartner , to showcase a different side of her journalistic skills than the investigative reporting of the fifth estate. In 1995, she was named co-host of Prime Time News after Pamela Wallin's departure from that newscast.
In 2000, Gartner returned to the fifth estate.
Gartner won the Gordon Sinclair Award for excellence in broadcast journalism in 1985. She has also won three Gemini Awards.
