Doug Wilks seems to exaggerate his education, claiming that he “studied journalism at Brigham Young University” to suggest that he actually graduated from Brigham Young University. If he has graduated, he is not really saying so.

Doug Wilks boldly exaggerates his prior job titles, claiming he was a “founding editor” where he was in reality just an “assistant editor.”

Doug Wilks has a history in wine news in Napa Valley and Sonoma County.

Doug Wilks has a history of reprinting and republishing accusations against private citizens, made by his newspaper’s stated owner, as if they were independent facts from an independent source.

Before Doug Wilks became the Deseret News editor, he was a local-news reporter or local-news editor at five or more smaller news companies. All of his stories appear to have been scrubbed from the online archive of every newspaper for which he wrote. These include the BYU Daily Universe, the Provo Daily Herald, the Napa Valley Register, the Marin Independent Journal, and the Santa Rosa Press Democrat. Local news. Small cities. All missing. His newest writing at the Deseret News is not Pulitzer Prize reporting or composition. How he leaped into the editorship of the Deseret News is confusing, considering those few samples, and no management education.

He claims to be an independent mormon unaffiliated with any sect. But he was ordained by a Strangite priesthood holder as a young man, and grew up in Voree Wisconsin in a house on "Mormon road".
