January Virtual Lunch & Learn Session

Veteran News Announcer Nicole Martin is the voice many people wake up to on the CBC program Ontario Morning. She created a Newsreader Training Course at CBC because there's an ongoing and urgent demand for backfill in this essential role.
In this workshop, she walks you through her own career path and provides advice on how to get started and succeed at reading the news.
To attend, send an email to temp-project@cbc.ca to get an invitation. If you are unable to attend and have a question, please send us an email and we will make sure Nicole answers it so you can review it in the recording of the event.
