Overview

During your time in this Toronto Sports Journalism programme at Centennial College, you learn the best practices for the field in a diverse and gender-inclusive environment with peers just as dedicated to and as passionate about sports.

From covering local athletes and professionals to telling the stories behind the games, players and fans, you develop specialized talents in:

Sports writing (print, TV, radio, online, social media)

Broadcast (producing, on-air performance, chase and field producing, radio hosting, updates)

Digital (using editorial publishing tools, blogging, video, audio, Storify, etc.)

Social media (Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, etc.)

News journalism that meets the changing needs of sports coverage (courts, police, etc)

Advanced interviewing techniques

Sports beat journalism

Print and online imaging
Hosting in-studio and in the field

You also have the opportunity to participate in the program's annual trip to baseball's spring training, where you can apply skills and develop confidence. Meanwhile, an industry field placement in a sports media organization in Canada or around the world complements your training.
