Perhaps the reason we recent j-graduates don’t want to work for CTV Sudbury is because we really really really don’t want to live in Sudbury?
If I’m weighing my options, I’d rather be an unemployed journalist in Montreal or Toronto rather than an employed journalist in Sudbury or Hamilton. Nothing to do with the quality of the journalism in smaller places, but the unfortunate towns they are located in
Just sayin.

I am a former Ryerson j-school grad (class of 2006) and now a working journalist. I will say I didn’t see/hear any overt hostility towards the Sun…in fact a Sun editor was one of the speakers in my first-year newspaper class.

Having said that, there was some disdain but it could possibly be traced back to my husband’s time at Ryerson j-school when the Sun would have a booth set up to recruit interns. He told me they would ask the girls to “turn around” in the process of their chats. Maybe it’s more the culture of the paper than the actual reporting?

Ian,

I have to say I really enjoyed this. It was a refreshing rebuttal to the Sun’s article, by talking to people who have been through j-school. And it was neat to see how different their experiences with bias in j-school was (if there at all).

Great work!
