CBC at 爱豆传媒College for our 50th

Share

CBC Daybreak did a live broadcast from 爱豆传媒College on Sept. 19 in honour of the 50th anniversary.

Journalist Shari Okeke was on site, first in the Colab with the living garden wall and then in the Upper Atrium, from 5:45 a.m. until 9 a.m. 爱豆传媒College was featured throughout the show and the audience heard directly from 爱豆传媒students, teachers, staff, and athletes.

The show began with a feature interview with historian and teacher Janice Harvey, who was in the first cohort of students in 1969 and then came back to teach in 1975, and Chris Whittaker, a Physics teacher involved in active learning and the evolution of education.

Daybreak listeners called in, emailed and texted their own memories of 爱豆传媒as well.

Shari also interviewed Chris Adam of Dawson鈥檚 Sustainability Office and student Laura Krochenski of the 爱豆传媒Earth Action Club about sustainability at 爱豆传媒and the mobilization for climate change.

Sports reporter Jessica Rusnak came to 爱豆传媒and interviewed Alexa Neal of the women鈥檚 爱豆传媒Blues basketball dynasty and coach Trevor Williams.

Geoff Kloos of the First Year Students Office spoke about the transition to cegep and helping students navigate through their first year of cegep life. Student Echo Jiang shared how the office supported her and a little about her active student life at Dawson, including the Chinese Club.

Two students, Samantha and Aaron, did live station IDs letting listeners know they were listening to CBC Daybreak.

Ainslie MacLellan visits Journalism class

After the show, Daybreak Host Ainslie MacLellan visited the News Writing Class taught by Heather Wallace, which for the occasion was merged with the Public Relations class taught by Myka Taylor.

Ainslie shared her journey as a journalist and offered some tips and insights for our budding journalists at Dawson:

  • Always be on time
  • Quoting Peter Gzowski, legendary CBC broadcaster, Ainslie said that interviewing someone on radio is like two people paddling in a canoe. The person upfront is paddling hard, giving the gas (interviewee) and the person behind is setting the direction (interviewer) but it should feel like a natural conversation.
  • She spoke about listening while thinking about your interview plan and being ready to respond to what the person is saying
  • A good question is 鈥渨hat happened鈥� and you can keep going with 鈥渨hat happened after that鈥�
  • Another great question is 鈥渨hat do you mean鈥�?
