Ryerson School of Journalism celebrates 60 years
by Bruce Laregina October 4, 2013

When Kenny Yum attended Ryerson University's journalism program in the mid '90s, he says he was rejected from the school's "prestigious" magazine stream and forced into his second choice, reporting for print – a medium he barely ever worked in.
Fifteen years later, the Huffington Post Canada's current managing editor will receive the school's most prestigious honour.
Tonight Yum and 11 other successful Ryerson journalism grads will be recognized as the first members of the program's new virtual hall of fame at the School of Journalism's 60th anniversary cocktail party. This group, known as the headliners, includes roughly two noteworthy graduates from each decade the school has existed.
"I'm really floored by it," said Yum, who previously served as the Globe and Mail's online editor. "A ton of talent came out of the '90s…I truly know that I've been lucky to be at the forefront of digital [media] for the last 13 years."
The recipients will be awarded an honorary certificate and a place in the school's virtual hall of fame, to be displayed on a TV in the program's new student workspace. This year's inaugural group of inductees was chosen by a committee made up of faculty members and alumni. The program plans to add two new members every decade.
"I wasn't there primarily for the academics; I was there to learn the craft of journalism."
Jaclyn Mika, the departmental assistant for the School of Journalism tasked with organizing the event, says that current students should look to headliners to learn how varied a journalism degree can be.
"We have headliners representing print, broadcast and online journalism, but we also have winners representing careers outside of journalism," says Mika, who is a 2008 Ryerson journalism graduate herself. "I think this will really show the breadth of what you can do with this degree."
While the current program has more than 500 undergraduate students studying to earn a degree, many of the headliners can recall a time when they didn't receive one at all. Before the journalism school officially earned a degree designation in 1973, students worked full-time on the daily school newspaper for three years in order to graduate.
"I wasn't there primarily for the academics," said Jim Sheppard, a current executive editor at The Globe and Mail who graduated in 1971. "I was there to learn the craft of journalism."
Headliner Robyn Doolittle, a graduate of the program in 2006, agrees.
"I got my [school] work done on time, but I was mostly committed to the Eyeopener when I was in school," says Doolittle, who now works as city hall reporter at the Toronto Star. "There was a balance, but if I was going to have one of them suffer it would've been school."
The ceremony, Journalism on the Rocks, will be held from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the Sears Atrium in the George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre.

How fit is your company for the age of AI?
Artificial intelligence is not a hype topic that only prevails in science fiction, it can be found in almost all industries and presents itself in many areas of life.
The rate at which AI-affine companies produce technological innovations is setting a rapid pace. AI is increasingly being used to optimize and automate processes. Applications range from data analysis and chatbots to new services, products and business models. Data analysis for decision-making processes leads the application ranking with an estimated 70 percentage points of the user rate. Many companies include AI in the planning of new digital business models. Innovations and disruptions in the use of AIs continue to be neglected. Companies are often still very cautious here.
Looking at AI through the lens of cutting-edge research and science, we are still a long way from artificially creating a human-like intelligence. Whether and when we will be able to experience artificial intelligence at the level of human beings or even superior intelligence, even scientists cannot predict.
In the most common fields of AI application, it is above all a question of machines and software taking over routine human tasks. Numerous business processes are faster, simpler and, above all, more efficient. Competitiveness increases and the error rate decreases. A desirable goal for many companies. But every medal also has a downside.
Is a mass phenomenon approaching us?
The analysts at Gartner are already talking about a democratization of the AI. Within ten years it will have developed into a mass phenomenon. Gartner distinguishes between a so-called weak AI solution for very specific areas of application - and strong AI applications for a broad range of applications. Gartner cites 'Deep Neural Nets' and virtual assistants as examples of this megatrend. These will experience their complete breakthrough in the next few years and possibly be 'hyped' as mass phenomena.
AI experts are hard to get
However, this phenomenon, or rather this all-round 'tempting entrepreneurial goal', shows its downside in the search for the right experts. The labour market - especially for IT professionals - is empty. Since many employers are currently courting the best minds in the prevailing trend towards AI, it is not surprising that the unattractive side of the coin is the universally cited search for the needle in the haystack.
Artificial intelligence affects all companies, industries and sectors and will be encountered as a mass phenomenon in the near future. In addition to a mature master plan to use and apply this technology successfully or even to train it, qualified experts are required. However, these should not be recruited through short-term actionism - especially since the art is to find them. Rather, a strategy could be to install an HR pipeline and strategically plan the personnel ceiling. In addition, professional advice can help to sound out the market for missing jobs.
