Early in her career, Meagan Fitzpatrick had a job as the Ottawa reporter for Dose, a free daily newspaper owned by Canwest Global Communications. 카지노 게임 컬렉션They wanted me to work from home, but I was living at my parents카지노 게임 컬렉션 house, so I really didn카지노 게임 컬렉션t think that would be the best idea,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she recalls.
On a whim, Meagan asked if there was a vacant desk she could use at one of CanWest카지노 게임 컬렉션s offices, either at the Ottawa Citizen 카지노 게임 컬렉션 where she카지노 게임 컬렉션d worked prior to joining Dose 카지노 게임 컬렉션 or at CanWest카지노 게임 컬렉션s Parliamentary bureau in downtown Ottawa. By chance, there was an empty desk at the bureau, and so Meagan began hanging her hat there.
카지노 게임 컬렉션When CanWest eventually pulled the plug on Dose, I was let go, but I got hired during the same conversation because CanWest카지노 게임 컬렉션s Parliamentary bureau took me on,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Meagan. From there, it was on to the CBC in early 2011. 카지노 게임 컬렉션That카지노 게임 컬렉션s why I say if I hadn카지노 게임 컬렉션t asked for a desk, I wouldn카지노 게임 컬렉션t be where I am today.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I now advise young grads: Never be afraid to ask for anything, because the worst you can be told is 카지노 게임 컬렉션No.카지노 게임 컬렉션 It never hurts to ask.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Meagan, who majored in political studies at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, joined the CBC as an online writer. However, last fall she began filling in for a colleague on maternity leave and was given a broader set of tasks that included live TV reporting and calling in to various local CBC radio shows across the country to give a weekly Ottawa report.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I jumped at the chance [to work on all three platforms]. I think you should seize whatever opportunities come along. Challenge yourself,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
Meagan flourished in her new roles. And why not? She카지노 게임 컬렉션s no stranger to trying new challenges that lead her in new directions.
She recalls that it was a summer internship at the Alumni Review in 2001 that motivated her to consider journalism as a career. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It made me think, 카지노 게임 컬렉션I can do this [writing and reporting work] full time,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
That realization prompted her to enrol in the Master of Arts program in journalism at Western 카지노게임사이트, where she specialized in television.
Her most recent challenge has been working at CBC카지노 게임 컬렉션s Hong Kong 카지노 게임 컬렉션pocket bureau,카지노 게임 컬렉션 as a correspondent for three months earlier this year 카지노 게임 컬렉션 카지노 게임 컬렉션a dream come true for me,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says.
While she카지노 게임 컬렉션s a political reporter here in Canada, in Hong Kong she got to write about a diverse range of topics. 카지노 게임 컬렉션China is one of the most dynamic places in the world right now, and Hong Kong is considered a gateway to China. Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s relationship with China is developing in many ways. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s important for us to be here.카지노 게임 컬렉션
While she카지노 게임 컬렉션s always thrilled to work overseas and hopes to land more such gigs, Meagan카지노 게임 컬렉션s local assignments are anything but dull. She loves working on Parliament Hill, where she sometimes dons high heels for Parliamentary scrums. When she does, it카지노 게임 컬렉션s hard to miss her. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I카지노 게임 컬렉션m six feet tall, and if my shoes have three-inch heels, so be it,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says with a laugh.
As a Parliamentary Press Gallery reporter, Meagan has already had some memorable assignments. She covered the Ottawa visits of Barack Obama and newlyweds Prince William and Kate Middleton. And she went on a whirlwind European trip with Prime Minister Stephen Harper 카지노 게임 컬렉션 카지노 게임 컬렉션four countries in four days.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Among the major events Meagan has reported on was the death of New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jack Layton, who had been her 카지노 게임 컬렉션date카지노 게임 컬렉션 for the 2010 Press Gallery dinner 카지노 게임 컬렉션 to which reporters bring MPs as their dates. She later wrote extensively about the NDP카지노 게임 컬렉션s subsequent leadership campaign and covered the convention at which Tom Mulcair was chosen as the party카지노 게임 컬렉션s new leader.
Meagan is passionate both about politics and journalism. 카지노 게임 컬렉션There카지노 게임 컬렉션s a lot of camaraderie on Parliament Hill and among the reporters. That카지노 게임 컬렉션s another reason I love my job.카지노 게임 컬렉션
A key reason Meagan wanted to work at the CBC was to learn more about online news, which she believes is journalism카지노 게임 컬렉션s future. 카지노 게임 컬렉션For example, Twitter is a great way to find out what the competition is saying. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s also a way to interact with our audience. It changes the way a journalist reports. I카지노 게임 컬렉션ll tweet from a news conference, telling the news as it happens. I카지노 게임 컬렉션m definitely on the pro-Twitter side.카지노 게임 컬렉션
