Condolences pouring in for Calgary Herald journalist

Lorne Motley, editor-in-chief of the Calgary Herald, says it’s a dark day at the paper with many tears being shed.

He describes Lang as kind-hearted and warm, adding her loss leaves a huge hole in their newsroom.

The Calgary Herald journalist was recently engaged and Motley says all of their thoughts are with Lang’s fiance Michael and her family.

In a release, Dennis Skulsky, president and CEO of Canwest Publishing, says “Michelle, along with being an award winning journalist was also much beloved by her colleagues at the Calgary Herald, Canwest News Service and across our organization. This loss is immeasurable.”

One of the beats Lang covered for the Calgary Herald was health and Ron Liepert, Alberta health minister, also offered his condolences Wednesday night.

In a statement, Liepert said, “Michelle covered health issues with professionalism, accuracy and thoroughness. She was tenacious in her quest to inform Albertans, and for her diligence she was very well respected.”
