The passing of the Beaver hat

Canada's National History Society decided to hire from within , so the new editor of The Beaver is Doug Whiteway, who has been with the magazine as associate editor since the summer of 1998.

According to mastheadoneline, Whiteway was an arts reporter with the Winnipeg Free Press in the 1980s and has published a series of crime novels under the pseudonym C.C. Benison.

Whiteway succeeds Murdoch Davis who bailed from the editorship to accept an offer from Hollinger International to be publisher and editor of an Indiana newspaper (see that post).
