Jasmine King
Jasmine King is a broadcast journalist at Global News whose coverage connects public institutions and safety measures with the everyday lives of residents. She reports on road incidents, wildfire response, and community history, with a consistent focus on how official decisions and events play out in real streets and neighbourhoods. Her work sits at the intersection of transportation, public safety and local identity rather than narrow policy or business reporting.
Roadside incidents and enforcement
One of Jasmine King’s recurring threads is how policing and safety enforcement affect what happens along busy roads and in public spaces. In her coverage of a Sherwood Park man whose regular curbside dance performances were halted by the RCMP, she tells a story that is as much about traffic flow and driver behaviour as it is about a colourful local character. She also reports on a major incident that shut down traffic on the busy Whitemud Drive overpass, documenting how a single disruption on a key route ripples through commuters and local services. These pieces show her attention to the practical impact of enforcement and road closures on drivers, pedestrians and nearby businesses, rather than treating them as abstract incidents.
Her road-focused reporting extends beyond isolated events to broader civic routines. In coverage tied to census day in Canada, she connects a national data-gathering exercise to the rhythms of everyday life, reflecting how public initiatives intersect with people moving through their communities. Across these stories, she treats vehicles, roads and public spaces as the stage where institutional decisions and individual habits meet.
Wildfire and public safety coverage
Jasmine King also spends significant time on wildfire and broader public safety stories, again with an eye on community impact. She reports on the Jasper wildfire, providing updates on how the blaze and response efforts affect the popular tourist town and the people who live and work there. Her coverage follows not just the fire’s behaviour, but the consequences for travel, tourism and daily routines in and around the area.
In a co-bylined piece on FireSmart Canada retiring Smokey Bear in favour of a Canadian-made fox mascot, she explains a shift in public education strategy around wildfire prevention. The story links a change in national messaging to the realities of fire risk in communities, highlighting how campaigns aim to influence behaviour on the ground. Taken together, her wildfire work shows an interest in how safety policies, branding and emergency management shape what residents and visitors do, rather than focusing solely on technical firefighting detail.
Community history and civic memory
Beyond urgent incidents, Jasmine King covers stories that explore how communities remember and reinterpret their past. She reports on a book that sheds light on a dark chapter in Vernon’s history, centred on an internment camp that many residents may not know about. The piece examines how new research and publishing can change a town’s understanding of itself, emphasizing the link between historical injustice and present-day identity.
Her work around census day also points to an interest in civic memory and participation, using a national count as a lens on who lives in a place and how they are seen by institutions. In these stories, she treats history and civic processes as living forces that inform current debates about community, inclusion and responsibility. The same instinct to connect policy, memory and everyday life that shapes her road and wildfire coverage is visible here.
Broadcast role and newsroom experience
Jasmine King works across local and national programs within Global News. She joins Global Edmonton’s newsroom in August 2023, bringing prior broadcast experience from a local news outlet in Lloydminster. Earlier, she is listed among the slate of broadcast reporters for CHBC TV in Kelowna, reflecting a role in regional television news before her move to Edmonton. Her credits as “Self – Global News (Edmonton)” on a national weekend news program confirm that she appears in both local and network contexts, carrying community stories onto a broader stage.
This trajectory gives her familiarity with diverse communities and story types, from traffic disruptions on major thoroughfares to historical examinations and wildfire response. Across these assignments, she keeps the focus on how public decisions, enforcement and safety campaigns affect people in cars, on foot and at home. For story pitches, she aligns best with subjects that sit where transportation, safety and community life overlap — roadside enforcement, infrastructure disruptions, wildfire preparedness and the way institutions communicate with the public.

Abhirup Roy
Abhirup Roy is distinct for his data-driven coverage of the U.S. auto industry, especially how electric-vehicle makers, suppliers and retailers respond to shifting demand, prices and regulation. He is a U.S. autos correspondent at Reuters News, with work widely carried by Yahoo Finance and other business outlets. He focuses on electric vehicles, autonomous cars and auto retail, using hard numbers on sales, deliveries, market share and tariffs to show how automakers navigate volatile markets and policy. His reporting tracks Tesla and newer EV manufacturers, links production and revenue results to investor expectations and stock moves, and explains how trade barriers, supply chains and new business models shape strategy. He covers autonomous and advanced driver-assistance technology as a near-term safety, liability and regulatory issue, grounding stories in concrete decisions and measurable outcomes.
Alana Cameron
Alana Cameron’s most distinctive work explains the legal and safety framework around emerging transportation, especially e‑bikes, in clear, rule‑based detail. She reports and anchors for Quinte News, focusing on how everyday transportation, policing and local regulation shape life in her coverage area. Within the automobile beat she concentrates on practical safety rules, enforcement activity and how official guidance translates into day‑to‑day decisions for drivers, cyclists and e‑bike riders. Her e‑bike coverage breaks down Highway Traffic Act requirements, equipment standards and operational rules into a practical checklist.

She focuses on how electric vehicle technology and efficiency are reshaping the compact segment, using new EV concepts to show how manufacturers now compete on energy use, range and packaging. Her work sits at the intersection of engineering choices, market positioning and everyday driving needs. She uses concept cars as signals of future trends in compact EVs, linking individual projects to wider shifts in range, comfort and safety within tight footprints. She writes in plain language, explaining design trade-offs through real use cases like urban driving, charging habits and ownership costs. Her reporting occupies a space between enthusiast coverage and industry analysis, showing how changes in EV technology affect the cars people may realistically drive next.
