Laura Blackwell

I have worked for Black Press since 1996. I started advertising for the Interior News in Smithers. After five years in Smithers, I was moved to Burns Lake to take the position of publisher for Lakes District News. A few years later I also became the publisher of Houston Today. I actively volunteer in both communities, working with the Chamber of Commerce, United Way, and many others. I have my Applied Management certificate, Marketing Management diploma, and Business Administration diploma. I love both of the communities I work in and I am happy to play a part in the success of both newspapers.
