"I always say I'm the eyes and ears on the ground in Winnipeg. Reporting on everything happening here to a national and regional audience."
"I chose that degree because I loved sports, but I had no idea what I was doing after."
"A third of our class dropped out. But looking back, I'm so happy it happened that way. We were doing three roles on one show-it made us way more ready to step into a position after graduation."

Danielle Bain, a Winnipeg bureau reporter for TSN, transitioned from a kinesiology degree to sports media after realizing her passion for reporting. Her journey included working at Lululemon while searching for direction. Enrolling in the College of Sports Media provided clarity, but the COVID-19 pandemic posed challenges, leading to a more intensive learning experience. Upon graduation, traditional entry points in the industry were scarce, prompting Bain to pursue opportunities actively, leading to her first role with CBC during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
