Andrea Bennett is the new managing editor at The Tyee, while Jackie Wong is the new senior editor of the publication. Wong has been a freelancer for the brand since 2006 and Bennett joined last year as senior editor.

            Bennett, a National Magazine Award-winning editor and writer, previously edited at Talonbooks and served as editor-in-chief of Maisonneuve magazine. Their book Like a Boy but Not a Boy has appeared on several book shortlists such as the CBC, Autostraddle and the American Library Association.

            Wong is a former reporter for Tyee Solutions Society. She previously served as managing editor and workshop facilitator for Megaphone magazine, and as a staff writer for the now-defunct Westender urban weekly. Her career outside of journalism includes roles at SFU’s Community-Engaged Research Initiative and the hua foundation.

            Robyn Smith, former editorial leader, left the brand after 10 years.
