The Yellowknifer is a newspaper based in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories and owned by Northern News Services.
It was first published on March 22, 1972, by J.W. (Sig) Sigvaldson,[2] who remains the current publisher. Both a Wednesday and a Friday edition are printed weekly, with 2015 circulations of 3,911 and 4,082 respectively.[3] Its mission statement is "having a ball and making a buck".[4]
Sigvaldson started the paper after leaving rival paper News of the North in 1971 after courting controversy from both the federal and municipal government, recruiting Jack Adderly who had also left the paper. Initial print runs were produced at home, using the bathroom as a darkroom. The paper was not commercially successful during its early years and was kept afloat by income from Sigvaldson's wife. By 1978, the paper had become a financial success, and Sigvaldson purchased News of the North, renaming it News/North.[4]
The paper focuses on local community news in the city, with some occasional coverage of wider issues in Northwest Territories and Northern Canada generally. The paper is published in English, but still has a significant number of Indigenous readers.[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
