The Coventry Evening Telegraph has made three editorial appointments.
Hayley Cuthbertson, 31, has been appointed assistant news editor, having spent two years as crime reporter.
Cuthbertson, who is from Coventry, joined the Evening Telegraph in February 1999 as a trainee reporter, having completed an NCTJ course at Sutton Coldfield College. She attained the Trinity Mirror Certificate 18 months later, and was appointed crime reporter in June 2001.
A graduate of Liverpool University, Cuthbertson spent two years teaching English in Japan after completing her degree and taught for some time in the UK before enrolling on the NCTJ course.
She said: “The Evening Telegraph is the paper I grew up with, and it was a couple of stints of work experience here, as a teenager, that convinced me I wanted to go into journalism. I’m delighted to have been appointed assistant news editor.”
Lucy Wilson has been appointed education reporter. She joined the Evening Telegraph in August 1998 as a general news reporter from the Yellow Advertiser in Basildon, Essex. Her first job, in 1996, was at the Matlock Mercury in Derbyshire.
