D. Jill Westerman

D. Jill Westerman: I am a journalist based in Yellowknife, Canada and I strongly believe journalism is vital to a healthy and democratic society. 
I also believe everyone has a story to share and by highlighting local efforts and achievements, as it helps build the worth of a community and its citizens. 
I have written about the mining and construction industries in remote northern Canada - Nunavut and the NWT -  plus housing issues and the struggles people have living in small isolated communities. I also write arts and entertainment stories, as well as general news, such as crime, court.
