OTTAWA – Former Société Radio-Canada parliamentary correspondent Joyce Napier has joined CTV News as its Ottawa bureau chief.
Napier, (pictured), began her career as a print journalist, working as a Montréal correspondent for The Globe and Mail and The Canadian Press, before becoming a reporter for La Presse. She joined CBC as a television reporter in Montréal in 1989 and moved to Radio-Canada in 1992, which included roles as its Middle East correspondent and Washington bureau chief. In August, 2015, Napier returned to Canada after 17 years abroad, becoming Radio-Canada’s senior political correspondent for the network’s parliamentary bureau.
In her new role, Napier will leverage her journalistic experience and extensive contacts to oversee political news from Ottawa for CTV News across all of its platforms.
“A highly respected journalist with a seasoned career, Joyce’s expert track record makes her a natural fit for CTV News,” said CTV News president Wendy Freeman, in Friday’s announcement. “Joyce is a superb storyteller, and her addition to our team further solidifies Canada’s #1 news organization in our nation’s capital.”
