Fulford's career took him through virtually every major Toronto media outlet including Maclean's, the Toronto Star, CBC Radio, and National Post, and he spent nearly 20 years as editor of “Saturday Night,” which Marche described as a watershed for Canadian magazines under Fulford’s watch. A biography on Fulford’s website lists a broad array of passions including jazz, the visual arts, architecture, city planning, museums, archeology, literature, theatre, film and politics.
Celebrated writer and editor Gary Ross, who edited Fulford for years at"Saturday Night," said Fulford never went to university but had a remarkable mind driven by insatiable curiosity"and interest in more things than you can imagine.""He knew so much it was remarkable. He formed opinions that were the result of critical thinking, not just passion or bias or whatever, and he articulated them with such grace and ease. It was astonishing.
