Wayne Kines
by Richard Kamen
Wayne Kines joined the Media Club of Ottawa on the suggestion of his
sister in-law, the late Bonnie née McIntosh Kines, who had been
in the club for 40 years. Mr. Kines joined the club to meet, greet,
socialize and collaborate with fellow journalists in order to improve
(their - ambiguous as it would not include himself)) professional
standards. He emphasizes that his 25 years in the Media Club were very
helpful to him because the friendships he made in the club were often
useful when trying to overcome professional struggles and challenges.
While in the Club, Mr. Kines held the positions of member of the board
and assistant director of The Galley. He is a lifetime journalist and
this is why the Media Club was so useful and relevant to him.
Mr. Kines grew up in Western Manitoba, where he was inspired to be a
journalist as he did not like the increasing power of mass media, which
were more or less irrelevant to his hometown. Mr. Kines felt a
responsibility to the elders of his hometown to bring news that is
relevant to those watching it.

Mr.
Kines received his education in journalism from Goose lake Collegiate
as well as Carleton University. During his career he worked for
newspapers, magazines, radio, television and public relations, but he
did most of his work for the World Media Institute Tabloid Tribute
Mr. Kines believes that the Media Club was an important part of his
career, and this is one of the reasons he is still a member today. He
says that the connection he made with Bonnie McIntosh Kines while in
the club was very important to him. Mr. Kines emphasized that he wants
to keep the Media Club alive and thriving, and then restore it across
Canada to its original greatness. Today Wayne Kines travels often
and is involved in the Nightingale Declaration - a
group that looks at health problems worldwide - and tries to find
solutions for them. Their goal is to have a healthy world by the
year 2020. For information about the Nightingale
Declaration please visit www.nightingaledeclaration.net
