Mark Dwyer
Director of News and Current Affairs
NTV’s Director of News and Current Affairs, Mark Dwyer has been leading the province’s top newscast for over a decade.
If a newscast resembles an orchestra, Dwyer is its chief conductor.
A national champion athlete and multi award-winning journalist, he’s been steering the province’s top newscast since 2013 – assembling a trusted, multi-faceted team that continues to yield some of the best news ratings in the entire country. He broke into the business in 1991, at just 19, cutting his journalistic teeth as a sports reporter with The Evening Telegram. It was the province’s daily newspaper that actually spawned his ‘On the Mark’ feature, which he would later resurrect to sustained success at NTV News. He’s actually won over a dozen Atlantic and national journalism awards for his weekly feature. Dwyer actually won RTNDA best sports feature in Canada in 2014.
Prior to joining NTV, Dwyer also spent a decade as managing editor of The Newfoundland Herald., filing hundreds of features and celebrating the many talents of this province.
When not leading the province’s top news program, he’s leading the nation’s top fastpitch softball team. His Galway Hitmen have won an unprecedented eight Canadian senior men’s fast pitch titles.
Dwyer is married to his high school sweetheart, Katie, and they have two daughters, Claire and Madison.

Earl Noble
Photojournalist
For close to a decade, Earl has carved himself a place in the niche market of local spot news photojournalism. At first he pursued his interest as a hobby before working as a freelance photojournalist for VOCM News starting in 2014. It was with VOCM that Earl won a 2019 Atlantic Journalism Award — a silver award in the category of Excellence in Digital Journalism: Breaking News. His coverage of a fire that destroyed a Mount Pearl hotel earned accolades in the first year that digital journalism was recognized by the Awards.
In the summer of 2021 Earl joined the NTV News team. Once again on the spot news beat, his mission is to tell frequently difficult stories with respectfulness, accuracy, and tact, often with a focus on the first responders who put much on the line in an emergency.
Earl’s work can also be seen on the side of St. John’s Regional Fire Department’s newest aerial truck — a mural showcasing the work of the department’s firefighters.
For years Earl has worked as a local delivery driver, and for over fifteen years as a karaoke host. When he’s not on the street with his camera, Earl enjoys hiking, sports, music, and spending time with his wife and young son.
