Robin Gill - Global National Correspondent

Описание: School may teach the fundamentals of journalism but ‘baptism by fire’ is the best way to actually learn the job, according to journalist Robin Gill. She’s worked in the field for over 20 years and as a B.C. correspondent and weekend anchor for Global National, she knows what makes a good story, even it’s told over dinner with friends who’re just looking to unwind. Robin’s experience has allowed her to amass wisdom in finding balance and taking time to unplug; she loves connecting with a tight group of women who also work in the field and understand the deadline-driven daily stresses. Robin says success isn’t measured by career milestones, and prides herself instead on providing context and careful details for everything she covers. When in the thick of dangerous circumstances, like reporting on Japan’s 2011 tsunami and Vancouver’s Stanley Cup riot, Robin feels calm; she focuses on telling the story that matters. With newsrooms’ shrinking budgets presenting ongoing challenges, this multitasking professional doesn't skip a beat in doing as much as she can to present her audience with what’s happening in the world. Going live is second nature to the seasoned reporter, who checks out of any on-air jitters by checking in with her team.
