Lang started her journalism career at the Globe and Mail and then the National Post, before moving into television at ROBTV and then CNN.

In 2009, Lang joined the CBC as senior business correspondent. During her tenure, Lang was recognized with a Gemini Award in the category of Best Host or Interviewer in a News Information Program or Series. Lang studied architecture at the University of Manitoba before becoming a journalist. She is a senior fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto, and the author of two best-selling books.
