Welcome to Tourism Yukon's Press and Media Newsroom--if you're thinking about writing, publishing or broadcasting a story, film, television program or commercial based in the Yukon, you've come to the right place.
We are dedicated to maintaining a collaborative and supportive relationship with travel media throughout the world. Our Media Relations Program offers up-to-date resources and tools for freelance travel writers, journalists, editors, film and network broadcasters.
This is where we're supposed to use a plethora of superlatives and colourful adjectives to get you excited about doing a story on the Yukon. Let's just say that you'd be hard-pressed to find a fresher, more original destination to write about. If you want to pitch a story on the Yukon, you'll find all the backgrounders, storylines and facts you need right here on this site. We'll leave the colourful writing to the pros in the travel media.
But first, consider this: at 483,450 square kilometres (186,661 sq. mi.), the Yukon is larger than California but with a population of 32,000--a mere fraction of the 34 million who call the Golden State home. So there's a lot of wild space up here in the Yukon awaiting exploration. Whether your readers are interested in wilderness adventure travel, restorative journeys, northern arts and events, the Klondike Gold Rush, First Nations or natural phenomena, your Yukon editorial options are broader and more exotic than you might think.
