Enter the Talktagon

The Talktagon is sports talk with Loyalist College Sports Journalism students.  Today the first edition of the new season hit the air on 91X...CJLX FM in Belleville, Ontario.
Our team of sports journalists doesn't blah, blah, blah about the lockout.  Instead you'll hear fact based opinion on the Belleville Bulls upcoming season, week two in the NFL and the stretch run to the MLB playoffs.
The Talktagon is on the air every Friday at 2:30p.m. on 91X and hits the blog and Soundcloud.  We hope you enjoy.

Class of 2013 - Orientation

   The faculty of the Loyalist College post-grad Sports Journalism program is looking forward to welcoming the class of 2013 for Orientation Day.  Orientation takes place starting in the gym at 9:00a.m. on Tuesday, September 4, 2012.  Students will gather under the Sports Journalism sign and join their faculty for the beginning of their learning experience at Loyalist.  Some students will also be continuing their learning at Loyalist after graduating from other programs.

   Activities have been planned throughout the week to introduce students to the unique program and the college environment.  Students will also begin their classes on Wednesday and wrap up their week on Friday by getting media I-D photos and playing a game of cricket.

   Professor Rob Snoek is covering the Paralympics in London for the CBC.  However, he will be back for his first class on September 10th.  You can follow his coverage on Twitter @RobSnoekLIVE.

   We're looking forward to a great year for Loyalist College Sports Journalism.  See you Tuesday.
