For another #SportProfz edition of the show, we were excited to have Senior Writer/Head of Features - The Athletic Canada, Author, and Ryerson RTA Sport Media instructor, Dan Robson join us on Monday January 25th! He provided such interesting insights and thoughtful answers to all of our audience questions. We dove into the responsibility sports writers have to provide a platform for athletes, coaches, and people working in sport to have a voice. We discuss the toxicity in hockey culture, online bullying, and the representation of women in sports and how important it is for writers to be an ally and help bring awareness to these issues.

With a master's in journalism from Carleton University, Dan Robson took his talent to many corporations from the Toronto Star, CBC to landing his first senior position as a writer at SportsNet. with this passion, he also wrote many sports-themed books. Today Robson is the head of features at the athletic Canada and is a part-time instructor at Ryerson University for the RTA sport media program. See our topic list below:
