The Troy Reeb internship is back once again for all Communication Arts students.
Troy Reeb was a 1988 graduate from the broadcast journalism program at Lethbridge College, and went on to do many great things for his career.
He has worked in all different parts of Canada, to different countries around the world. He began his career in radio in Yorkton, Sask., soon moved on to television and has been the senior vice-president of news and current affairs for Canwest Broadcasting since 2008.
On Sept. 22, Reeb was at the college talking to students about his internship, the benefits of receiving it and the requirements which need to be met.

“The best for you is the best foot forward,” he said at his speech, “The goal is to get you to have real experience, real high level experience.”
Reeb also inspired students about the potential fields of journalism and reminded everyone to keep at it because “the training you get here in college never ends”. He went on to say how important it was to write about things you are passionate about, and things that make you curious.
In order to receive the internship, students must propose a story that interests them. The ideas must be realistic.
 “Believe me, you will not get to talk to President Obama for this story,” Reeb joked.  
Students are also required to keep up good grades throughout the school year.
Last year, Print Journalism student Sarah Scott was the recipient of the internship, and spent her time with Vancouver’s Global National. The internship is all expenses paid, and students have the flexibility of going to different places around Canada.
The decision will be made early into the first semester but it’s never too soon to start thinking of ideas.
Reeb was named Distinguished Alumni of the Year in 2003 at Lethbridge College, and has since been offering this internship to those in communication arts.
