News Editor, Yahoo News at Verizon Media

Sydney, AustraliaAbout Louise Cheers:
I am currently employed as news editor at Yahoo News. This follows my role as digital editor at SBS News, and assistant news editor at Daily Mail Australia where I was promoted from being a news journalist.
Previously I worked for two years at the South Burnett Times (formerly owned by APN) as a journalist and did a one-year stint at ABC News Online as an online news producer.
In my day-to-day activities I delegate stories, generate original ideas, write headlines, brainstorm the best angles and manage a team of reporters. On top of this, I work side-by-side with my editorial colleagues - not just on the news desk but on our finance, entertainment/lifestyle, sport and video teams as well.
