As a person who identifies herself with journalism, luckily, I ended up with an internship at University of Toronto News. Needless to say, I am amazed by the work that they are doing. However, I have to admit that I wasn’t aware of the scope of the network before. Hence, I wanted to remind the others, who like myself have been neglecting this network, to check out the amazing stories that the team puts together. Even if you have no connection with University of Toronto, I am pretty sure you will find some interesting pieces to read there. You will find the latest developments about UofT students, alumni, university professors and campus events as well as the top stories from all around the world. And these are the top reasons to check out the website:
