This week, I’m teaching my students about covering police and fire stories at the journalism school of Centennial College/University of Toronto.
And today, our campus in East York gets locked down/evacuated because of a bomb threat, with 7 fire trucks and #332 Station responding to assist the police as they deal with this situation.
I am home, sick today, luckily, but I wish I was there with the students to show them how it’s done in real life.
And now, the power goes out at the HP campus..where the other journalism courses are held. What is going on?
Hey Ellin,
Not sure if your students are aware, but they can actually pick up the Toronto Police scanner online for free, although the conversations are from all over the city:
