In the summer of 2005, when I earned my BHums degree and joined The Globe and Mail’s copy desk, it felt as if everything and nothing in my life had changed. At Carleton, I had spent four years reading voraciously, analyzing the core ideas behind great historical and intellectual events, discussing those ideas every week with the smartest people I knew, and summarizing my conclusions in clear English. At The Globe, all that changed was the style of writing and urgency of events. Also, they paid me.<\/p>\n

I had known since high school that I wanted to be a journalist, but believed a broad liberal-arts education could help me avoid j-school groupthink. I could still access Carleton’s journalism know-how by volunteering at The Charlatan, and by convincing professors to let me into indispensable classes such as media law. (The combined BJ\/Hums honours program could have made that easier, but it wouldn\u2019t exist for another decade.) At the College of Humanities, I learned the most important skill of journalism: How to investigate the why of things, to be curious about where cultures, beliefs and institutions come from.<\/p>\n

My unique academic path helped me to see career options that the j-school pack did not. They mostly clamoured for reporting jobs; I pursued editing. When The Globe hired me full-time, the interdisciplinary thinking instilled by the College helped me to be a sort of translator between its many editorial fiefdoms: News and business, text and photography, print and digital. This was the foundation of my current job on the Globe visuals team, where I build digital stories by co-ordinating between reporters, assigning editors, photographers, graphic artists and web developers to make sure their contributions blend smoothly into one article page.<\/p>\n

The College also kindled my love of structural editing, another of my specialties at The Globe. In the 2010s, through my work with the live-news and visuals teams, I invented new formats of \u201cwhat we know so far\u201d explainers, designed to give digital audiences rich but accessible context on important topics. When building explainers, I sometimes thought of my old College self: What would a know-nothing student, desperate to grasp this issue quickly, want to have as cram material?<\/p>\n

The news media is an ever-evolving industry, and I sometimes worry about its survival against the forces of technological upheaval, political polarization and misinformation. But the values I learned at Carleton are something I can count on in my work and life: Even when everything changes, they do not.<\/p>\n
