Keith Morgan is a media veteran, who began his journalistic career in 1975 as a reporter for his hometown newspaper in Blackpool, England.
Prior to his entry to journalism he operated as a rock concert promoter and tour manager, working with several prominent rock bands of the 1970s – including Black Sabbath and Judas Priest.
Keith moved to Vancouver, Canada, and joined The Province newspaper in the spring of 1981. He began as a general assignment reporter but soon took up the crime beat responsibilities. He won awards for his coverage of Crime Stoppers, specifically for the Most Wanted feature, where pictures of suspects and convicted criminals on the lam were published and a crime reenactment for public TV broadcast.
His innovative coverage of traffic policing and traffic safety grew into the introduction of Canada’s first commuter column, Getting There.
His enthusiasm for traffic safety initiatives led to the creation of the highly successful prime time TV Province Road Test video series, which he wrote and co-produced.
For almost two years he hosted a talk radio version of Getting There on Vancouver radio station AM1040 and recorded a daily traffic feature. During that time he garnered many traffic-related awards and self-published a Canadian best seller called 101 Traffic Tales - Making Sense of Motoring Madness.
He would later run the car sections for both The Province and the Vancouver Sun after the turn of the century. The sections’ creative content, tailored specifically to appeal to the newspapers’ differing reader markets help boost the advertising revenues by millions of dollars.
Keith also appeared on Kelowna’s CKOV AM talk-radio station weekly as the Voice from the Coast and filled in as a talk show host for the vacationing Barrie Clark.
In the late 1990s, he launched Your Neighbours, a weekly column about British Columbians making a difference in the lives of others at home and abroad.
Keith played an important role in the Province newspaper’s involvement in the Coast Mental Health Foundation’s Courage to Come Back Awards, writing the profiles of early award recipients then volunteering with the organization for the more than ten years.
While penning Your Neighbours he met Ruth Kron Sigal.  He recorded her Holocaust survivor story first for a column and then for a four-part Newspapers In Education supplement called Hidden from the Holocaust. The resulting book was Ruta’s Closet (2011), which he co-authored with the late Ruth Kron Sigal, who passed in 2008. It spent three months on the BC best seller list and was launched in the UK in the spring of 2013.
Keith resigned his newspaper position in June 2013 to tour his book and pursue business projects with his own company and in partnership with the Laura Ballance Media Group.
On April 9, 2025, Mayor Ken Sim proclaimed that day Ruth Kron Sigal Day, in recognition of Ruth’s contributions to her adopted country. That day a third updated edition of Ruta’s Closet was published globally, in all formats.
An audiobook version of Ruta, narrated by Keith and featuring an enhancing musical soundtrack and sound effects, is now available from all major online sites.
Ruta’s Closet is now the focus of a proposed wider Holocaust awareness project, for which funds are currently being sought.
A interactive website has launched at rutascloset.com. It carries content aimed at all ages based on a forthcoming Ruta’s Closet Podcast series, set to launch in 2026. The Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre has produced two book guides for Ruta, downloadable at the site. One is Talking Points for Book Clubs and the second is a Study Guide for High School teachers.
In June, 2025, VHEC presented a Life Fellow Award for his continuing work in raising Holocaust awareness.
