Working For Shaw Media

“I love working for Shaw Media. I’m able to share quality human interest stories with the community while working in a friendly, collaborative environment.”

“As a journalist, I am honored to write the stories people share with me about their lives as we document the life of a community.”

“You never know exactly what that story will be on a particular day, and that’s something that has kept my job interesting through 33-plus years with Shaw Media. I can honestly say, it’s always fun.”

“Working in the Promotions & Marketing department allows my creativity to flourish. Each day is different from the next.”
