Bachelor of Journalism
Starting out, Craig wasn’t sure what his career would look like. But his experiences as an undergraduate led him to one of the most prestigious names in journalism: The Globe and Mail.
“I was in a program that made opportunities available and I succeeded because I was able to take advantage of those opportunities,” says Lord. “It can be scary, but that’s not a reason not to do something.”
In particular, Craig cites his experience with alumni mentor Mike Curran of the Ottawa Business Journal. Mike put Craig in charge of a news site for Ottawa’s tech community called Techopia. Craig was its first web editor and created written and video content.
“When I interviewed with The Globe, I told them about Techopia and I think a light went off in their heads. That’s what they were looking for.”
