Northern News Services is pleased to announce the appointment of Michele Taylor as editor of Yellowknifer.

The longtime Yellowknife resident brings a wealth of experience to her new role, having taken her first job with Northern News Services as photo editor and then design manager from 2005 to 2009.

After a second stint as design manager from 2012 to 2014, Taylor worked as a reporter and editor in Northern B.C. with Black Press newspapers.

Taylor came back to Northern News Services for a third time as a news editor on Aug. 4, 2017. She became editor of News/North in December and was promoted to co-ordinating editor of Northern News Services this past April.

Managing editor Mike Bryant said not only does Taylor have excellent technical skills and news judgment, she is a keen news observer who keeps her ear to the ground.
