JOURNALISM<br />

“One of the best decisions I have<br />

ever made”<br />

One of the best decisions I have ever<br />

made was to study Broadcast Journalism<br />

at <strong>Loyalist</strong> <strong>College</strong>. When I started <strong>College</strong><br />

at the age of seventeen, I was unsure if<br />

this was the right program for me. At first<br />

I thought I had made the wrong choice,<br />

but the program opened up so many<br />

doors for me. You don’t have to get a job<br />

in news after you graduate. There are a<br />

wide variety of opportunities available.<br />

The Broadcast Journalism staff are the<br />

greatest. They are very honest with you.<br />

The first day of school the teachers told us<br />

it would not be easy. They were absolutely<br />

right, but they were there for us anytime<br />

we needed them. I struggled through parts<br />

of the program but my teachers<br />

encouraged me to strive harder and I have<br />

them to thank for much of my success.<br />

My experiences at <strong>Loyalist</strong> were<br />

amazing. I met friends I will have for the<br />

rest of my life, and I learned that I CAN do<br />

whatever I put my mind to. This<br />

specifically shows in my work now. I’m a<br />

Summer Events Reporter at Variety 104.5<br />

and I love my job. Every day I learn<br />

something new, and meet someone new.<br />

It is the most challenging job I have ever<br />

had, but also the most rewarding. I grow<br />

more and more each day.<br />

Everywhere I go in the media industry I<br />

meet <strong>Loyalist</strong> grads. <strong>Loyalist</strong> is a top<br />

competitor in the media industry and they<br />

should be proud of that. I’m proud to put<br />

<strong>Loyalist</strong> on my resume because it has<br />

helped me shape what I am today. I<br />

would tell anyone who is considering the<br />

Broadcast Journalism program at <strong>Loyalist</strong><br />

to make sure they are ready to learn, to<br />

put in extra hours, and to work as hard as<br />

you possibly can. Your dream job awaits<br />

you at the end of it all.<br />

National Recognition for <strong>Loyalist</strong> Photojournalists<br />

<strong>Loyalist</strong> graduates and students crossed the stage 14 times to receive<br />

awards in 10 of the 12 categories at the News Photographers<br />

Association of Canada’s (NPAC) first Pictures of the Year Awards<br />

held in Vancouver.<br />
