Every day between June 17 and June 21, we’ll introduce you to one 2013-14 Journalism Fellow.
Meet Kelly Crowe, Kierans Janigan Fellow
In the early 1980s, clutching a Carleton University journalism degree and the faint hope of a real job in journalism, Kelly headed for a tiny radio station inYarmouth, Nova Scotia, and began a fascinating journey in broadcast news. She was hired by CBC in 1988, first as a regional reporter at CBLT-TV in Toronto and later as a national correspondent in Saskatchewan, then Alberta and eventually, Toronto. Kelly has reported on a dizzying range of stories as a television correspondent for CBC TV’s The National, including earthquakes, fires, floods, economic crises, political dramas, environmental threats, and all manner of human triumph and tragedy. Her documentary work has taken her all over the world – from rural Saskatchewan to rural Afghanistan. Since 2009, Kelly has been able to satisfy a lifelong interest in science, covering the health beat at CBC.
