Len Arminio: Professor, Journalism - Online, Print and BroadcastBy Len Arminio
The Radio-Television News Directors Association of Canada opened its 2009 regional professional development conference Friday with tributes to four broadcast and journalism professionals.
"He is a journalist's journalist". The words used to describe Henry Champ, the recipient of the RTNDA's President's Award.
Champ ended 48 years in the business this year after a career which took him to the war in Vietnam to investigative reporting for CTV' "W-Five" and as Washington correspondent for both NBC and CBC.
In his acceptance speech, Champ said Canadian journalists are recognized around the world for their professionalism.
Also honoured were recently retired CTV Toronto weatherman Dave Devall and City-TV's Peter Silverman, the combative consumer advocate.
