Knowing as much as they do about the interview process, it\u2019s no surprise that journalists are often more comfortable asking questions than answering them. As Master of Journalism student Catherine Morasse laughingly says, \u201cI\u2019m the one who\u2019s usually holding the microphone.\u201d But Morasse, warm and wonderfully communicative, quickly settles, and brings both her past and future plans vividly to life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recipient of the\u00a0River Philip Foundation Journalism Scholarship<\/strong>, at the time of writing, Morasse is getting ready to move from Ottawa to Halifax to begin her studies in King\u2019s\u00a0Master of Journalism<\/a>program. Born and raised in Hull, Quebec, she\u2019s been holding that microphone and working as a journalist in a range of media positions for the past eight years. After studying media at C\u00e9gep de Jonqui\u00e8re, well known for its journalism program, Morasse began working at Ottawa and Gatineau weekly papers before moving over to\u00a0Le Droit<\/em>, Ottawa\u2019s major French-language daily, where a three-month internship led to a position editing and writing about the arts. \u201cLe Droit<\/em>was my training ground,\u201d she says. \u201cI was writing in the newsroom, on the weekends covering everything and then I was assigned to cover the arts.\u201d Concurrently, she did an Honours Bachelor of Social Sciences in Conflict Studies and Human Rights at the University of Ottawa. And there\u2019s more: for the past two years, Morasse has worked at Radio-Canada developing her television and radio broadcast and production skills.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
