Devan C. Tasa

After graduating with a political science degree from the University of Northern B.C. in 2009, Devan Tasa started blogging about Prince George city council. Liking it so much, Devan decided to go to journalism school at Kamloops' Thompson Rivers University in 2011 to learn how to do it properly. With a journalism degree in hand, Devan started as reporter at the Assiniboia Times in 2013, became editor of the Tisdale Recorder in 2014 and moved to Humboldt in 2018 to become editor of the Humboldt Journal. He was promoted to publisher (general manager) of the paper in 2019. He is now also publisher of the Canora Courier, Kamsack Times and Preeceville Progress and is a proud member of the SASKTODAY.ca news family.
