Behind the scenes; Devin Heroux goes for the gold behind the mic
Not all Olympic stories happen on the rink, track or hill. For one U of S alumni, his journey to Pyeongchang, South Korea this month will include packing his notebook, microphone and a sharp journalistic passion to keep us up to date on Canadian athletes and their stories.
“Saskatoon and the U of S afforded me so many opportunities to learn, grow and perhaps most importantly take risks,” says Heroux. “In fact, it was during my time as Sports Editor of The Sheaf that I fell in love with storytelling. Since then I’ve been fortunate enough to travel Canada and beyond sharing stories of people and places.”
Heroux joins 200 journalist making up the CBC team heading to South Korea to cover the games and will look after reporting and digital/social media during his 19 total days of coverage.
“As cliché as it is, being able to cover the Olympics and Paralympics with CBC is a dream come true.”
