It has been almost 60 years since I have stopped at the scene of a horrific bus crash which killed eight children in the former village of Oldcastle on the outskirts of Windsor. I was there on that fateful day covering the story for the Windsor Star. Details are recounted in the book - My Life as a Reporter - available from Amazon. Although the crash occurred on December 21, 1966, it wasn't until 2014 that this memorial marker was placed at the site to remember the eight young victims. It's a day I will never forget and hopefully this plaque will not allow this tragedy to fade from the minds of those living in the area. Trees were also planted in the Park of Remembrance as a tribute to each victim. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0GV487PM6

Metroland's Laura Barton wrote an amazing article on my newest book - My Life as a Reporter - which was published on the Fort Erie Post website and other publications. https://www.niagarathisweek.com/entertainment/books/book-chronicles-niagara-mans-40-years-as-a-reporter/article_4d0b6a61-0bc3-5ecf-8958-27dc9e33f221.html

Sunday, July 5 was the 56th anniversary of a jetliner crash near Toronto's Pearson Airport that killed 109 people. In the book, My Life as a Reporter, I recount how on that morning I was in the newsroom of the Toronto Telegram when the only other person in the room, a copy boy, took a phone call from a man telling us about the crash. Within an hour I had assembled one of the largest teams ever mustered at the newspaper to cover every aspect of the story. It was one of those days I will never forget and the scenes of devastation and death that will live in my mind forever. Copy of page 190 from the book, available from Amazon. A must read for anyone seeking work in the journalism field or anyone with a keen interest in news. https://www.amazon.ca/My-Life-Reporter.../dp/B0GV487PM6...

college advising is literally so shitty

i'm so sorry but the way that my advising and my friends advising is horrendous. and I KNOW that my parents are going to be calling me today probably sometime soon asking, "how was your advising appt?" and i'll say, i have no fucking idea because it didn't fucking happen. when I went to the j-school to have what i thought would be my enrollment appointment, my advisor pops out and goes, Hey ----! just so you know I have no availability at this time for drop in appointments, but I have time later around 1 to 4 which are my regular drop in hours! and I said, what do you mean, i'm here for my advising appt? and she said well we had that weeks ago! and I said yea im here to enroll in my classes (as I pull up my enrollment time) and she says she has to go!

And THEN! she says make sure to have your things in your shopping cart so like the good little bitch i am i make sure that what i need is in my shopping cart! and then i cannot change my shopping cart so the schedule i planned (before I knew what i was doing and had kid brain and no actual sense of what i actually wanted from my schedule so now everything in my shopping cart is the complete opposite of what i actually want.

anyways im really fucking pissed cuz i missed a class for no reason because i thought that there was an important meeting that i was going to miss and then none of that was true and i want to scream and cry and bash my computer into the advising departments windows because they are so shit at explaining how to do any of this!

I was a bit daunted by the prospect of coming up with a prediction for 2021. A year ago, none of us could have imagined some of the events of this past year and the effect they would have on business, media, education, and our personal lives. The best I could do was provide some hopeful remarks that transitioning into 2021 would mark a positive move forward. But it all seemed so hollow. I knew…
