A warm welcome to Huntsville Doppler!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The idea for this local online news source was born by an old fart with too much time on his hands. You know that adage, you can\u2019t teach an old dog new tricks? Well, it seems that is just not true!<\/strong><\/p>\n

That old dog saw a need in our community, a need that also exists in communities across the country, to bring back local news. And so, at Doppler, we believe in digging deeper, seeking truth and presenting local news with a difference. Our mantra is local. We aim to be your go-to site for everything happening in Huntsville and in our extended local community. With timely news and sports coverage, provocative opinion pieces, beautiful photography, engaging stories about people and places in our community, and alerts \u2013 like bus cancellations and traffic reports \u2013 we strive to provide you with all the local information. We will work hard to be your primary news source!<\/strong><\/p>\n

My partners in this venture are Hugh Mackenzie, Ben Boucher and Matthew Mackenzie. We all have deep roots in Huntsville. Hugh and I have extensive backgrounds in publishing, print media and broadcasting, with an emphasis on effective communication and community involvement. Matt and Ben are all about the internet. They grew up on it. They have tremendous communication skills as well. <\/strong><\/p>\n

And we are honoured and excited to be working with a great team. Dawn Huddlestone is our Editorial Coordinator. She is an accomplished writer and social media manager whose work has appeared online and in print in Canada and the United States. Our News Editor, Tamara De la Vega, is an award-winning journalist and editor. Jacob Hall is our Sports Editor. He has a post-graduate certificate in Sports Journalism and he is also a published author. Our Photojournalist is Laura MacLean whose work has appeared in Maclean\u2019s <\/em>magazine, the Globe and Mail <\/em>and many local publications. Our advertising and marketing team consists of Karen Broad, our Director of Sales and Marketing, and Rose Evans, our Account Executive. Karen has served as Sales Manager, General Manager and Regional Manager of a number of radio stations and most recently has concentrated on online marketing. Rose has extensive local media sales experience, notably in digital sales. <\/strong><\/p>\n
