NEWS EDITORS

 

Ruth Davenport -- Morning News Editor

d

After a few years in Halifax's print reporting biz, I decided to see what all the fuss was with talk radio, and landed here in the editor's chair at News 95.7. As promised, I love the pace, the energy and the - ahem - "creative opportunities" - but (also as promised) I'm not crazy about those early mornings.
