Nykole King is a Canadian journalist reporting on the biggest business news in Saskatchewan for the Financial Post’s Western Bureau.
She has a knack for finding the interesting from what seems like the most mundane industries and tracing through stories by allowing real people to talk about what problems they’re facing.
Some companies are hungry for more market share and are making brazen moves to seize dominance. Some entrepreneurs are overcoming the odds by challenging adverse conditions with unique methods. The core of Nykole’s writing is finding the passion, the motivating factor behind it all.
Before covering business exclusively, Nykole worked at the Regina Leader-Post newspaper as a general news reporter. During that time, she wrote heartfelt features about the community’s pluckiest characters and broke down opaque issues on politics with a number of explainers. She captured some the province’s most unforgettable moments — some that are meant to celebrate and some that are for mourning.
Nykole has a variety of experience that she brings to her news coverage. Before returning back to Saskatchewan, she worked in London, U.K. as a commodity reporter covering the global potash and mineral fertilizer industry. She developed a familiarity with international supply chains, logistics networks and the derivatives market.
She holds a Master of Journalism from the University of Galway in Ireland where she specialized in global business and financial reporting. She developed a keen sense for producing radio and video packages, often trying to incorporate data journalism and interactive visualizations into every project. Nykole could often be found in the university’s radio studio reading at noon delivering the news bulletin.
