Amanda Pfeffer is host of the noon-hour open-line show, Ontario Today heard weekdays on CBC Radio One.  

She joined the show in 2021 and has been a journalist with CBC since she graduated from journalism school, working from coast to coast, contributing to newsrooms in Vancouver, Fredericton, Montreal and Quebec City. 

As a legislative reporter, Pfeffer has covered federal and provincial elections and has found that the most rewarding assignments have come from being on the scene, bringing audiences the information they need when they need it the most.

Pfeffer has been recognized for her work by the Jack Webster Foundation, the RTNDA and the Canadian Association of Journalists.  

When she's not working, she's mentoring a new generation of journalism students at Carleton University, and spending time with her family in Ottawa.
