Overview
During your time in this Toronto Sports Journalism program 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.

- 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.)

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.
