Scott Metcalfe is the News Director of 680 News in Toronto. Scott is the newest member of the Fanshawe College School of Contemporary Media Wall of Fame. He'll be so honoured on April 16th at the London Convention Centre.
Scott is a great choice for this honour. Despite running the single largest radio newsroom in the country, he has always had time to mentor students and give advice to educators. While talking to Scott at various conventions, he'll ask about student prospects and I'm happy to oblige. As I describe the student, Scott will tap away at the ever-present Blackberry and a record is kept. This is not a token gesture but a genuine interest in the future.
He is calm. He is measured and thoughtful about covering news. I trust that all issues are fairly dealt with in his newsroom. And what a job that must be. 680 News, that unstoppable force and journalism's hungriest monster, is one of the highest billing radio stations in Canada. The pressure must be enormous, but Scott has the perfect personality to handle it. He's also helped set up the news 'wheel' in other Rogers radio stations.
Congratulations Scott. Well deserved.
