Evan Zeller

Evan is completing his final year in the Bachelor of Journalism program at TMU and is passionate about writing pieces relating to education, mental health, and navigating the trials of adolescence. He also volunteers at Met Radio’s “Movie Mixtape” team where he gets to express his love for the world of film. When he’s not writing though, you can always find him sketching away, creating miniature crafts, or filming/editing videos.

Not Just a Newsroom Problem

Canadian journalists have long shouldered the responsibility of reporting on tragedies and distressing events, oftentimes at the expense of their own mental well-being. While many staff writers now have access to employer-funded mental health resources, the situation is different for freelancers, who are often left to navigate these challenges alone.

Connecting Kids to News

CBC launched its Kids News digital platform in 2018 to help Canadian children stay informed while developing their media literacy skills. However, when the pandemic hit in 2020, the platform became increasingly relevant to younger audiences due to the reliable, age-appropriate health information it provided them.
