Canton said: “I fell in love with Norwich when I came for my interview and I was very impressed with the paper. We are in direct competition with the Eastern Daily Press, which makes it even more exciting for me.”
Sarah Hall worked for two years on the Esher News and Mail Series and seven months on the Wandsworth Borough News. She has recently been working on a freelance basis for Reed Business Information.
News editor Alasdair McGregor said: “Naomi and Sarah have both plied their trade with weekly titles and now feel the time is right to make the step up to reporting on a busy daily newspaper.
“Both displayed a commitment to local news and will be an asset to the paper.”
Canton starts on 31 August, Hall joins on 20 September and interviews are taking place for a third senior reporting position.
