Career

He was a journalist at the Elmira, Ontario Independent, when it won Canada's most prestigious journalism prize, the Michener Award, in 1990.[4] The small Ontario newspaper was honoured for its blanket coverage of a prolonged legal battle over contamination of the Elmira–St. Jacobs municipal water supply.

He was production manager for the Elora Sentinel and Fergus Thistle, and news editor of the agricultural newspaper The Farmgate.

With his background in agricultural journalism, Albright moved to the UK in 1993 to become the press officer for the National Farmers Union in the East Midlands region,[5] managing the regional response to the BSE Crisis that affected the UK in the mid-1990s.
