Canadian journalist David Wylie has worked over the past decade as a night editor, national newswire editor, managing editor, regional news correspondent and video game critic/technology reporter.

He currently works in Kelowna, B.C., as the night editor at The Daily Courier, where he designs the paper’s front page and inside news pages.

He previously worked in Ottawa as a copy editor and reporter for Postmedia News — a national newswire with clients from coast to coast, including the Vancouver Sun, Calgary Herald, Ottawa Citizen and National Post. His stories were regularly published in some of Canada’s biggest newspapers.

Before joining Postmedia News (formerly known as Canwest News Service) in 2007, David worked in B.C. as managing editor of the Vernon Daily Courier. He built the new daily newspaper from scratch in a few weeks by recruiting freelance writers, columnists and photographers — most of whom he taught the ropes of the journalism industry. Several are now thriving as well-respected reporters and syndicated columnists, a few of which are even being paid a salary.

David has also spent several years covering Interior B.C. as Okanagan correspondent for Sterling News Service, writing about forest fires, mass murders, local wines, and even the fabled lake monster: Ogopogo.

He studied journalism at Humber College in Toronto, where he enjoyed postings as the art director and managing editor of the college paper, The Humber Etc.
