News Release Assignment - 50 PEOPLE ARE BACK AT WORK IN VICTORIA TODAY

50 Victoria residents and 200 people altogether in Canada are back at work this morning
as new business opportunities in China opens up for the National Widget Company.
This enables the company to rehire all the previously employed who were laid off last
year.
200 Canadians lost their jobs in June 2019 due to the, at that time, decreasing sales in the market.
Now, six months later the market has taken an, according to the president of the NWC
Andrew Bryce, “unprecedented” turn. 
The later part of 2019 turned out to be a flourishing time for widgets in Asia and unlike previous
years, it is not oil industry who pushes the sales this time. China, especially, will be one of the
big future customers as the use of widgets will be needed for every new building in the country.
NWC were fast to see this opportunity which resulted in them being the first widget company
ever to make a deal with China. 
“This represents opportunity and a secure market on which to expand our capacity”  president
Bryce says and announces that the company plans on calling in their employees in Victoria
as needed over the next couples of weeks and intends to be operating at full capacity within
six weeks. 
“As a family-owned company, it was heartbreaking to lay off so many loyal people so we are
thrilled to be offering employment to people we consider part of the family” President Bryce
consludes.

Chris Palliser’s best advice on how to make it in radio

Chris Palliser is the radio host who got kicked out of class for talking too much. He landed his first radio host job as a 19 year old and has had a prosperous career within radio ever since. This Thursday he shared some of his best advice to some young students on how to make it in the radio business.  Chris Palliser is 37 years old and claims that he has been “avoiding real jobs” his entire life. Today he works at Virgin Radio as a morning show host in Victoria. When describing the morning show that he and his co-worker Brittany host every morning, he says that their goal is to make it feel like a bunch of friends hanging out, making silly jokes and having fun. But radio is not all fun and games; there is a constant need to reinvent yourself and find the right subjects to talk about to engage the listeners. That is something he and his co-host Brittany do everyday; brainstorm ideas and finding angles that suit their audience. Being live on radio demands a constant...

Why post secondary school should be free

A few years ago former president Barack Obama made a proposal that college tuition in the US should be free for responsible students for the first two years of their education. The proposal was partly motivated by the estimation that by 2020, 35 percent of the jobs in the country would require some sort of post secondary education. As a swedish citizen, education is free and therefore I consider myself a big advocate of free post secondary school tuition. Like in the US, most jobs in Sweden require some sort of higher education. And while education might be important in the aspect of the future labor market, there is another aspect of education that is important to acknowledge, and that is the democratic aspect of it. Like the rest of the world Sweden is struggling with the increasing influence of national populistic political parties. In the swedish election 2018 the political party of the Swedish Democrats got the highest percentage of votes. This is a party with roots in t...

Why we need to destroy the man box - opinion piece 2

Image
We live in a world of high criminality, wars, closed borders, where people commit suicide, where women and kids are kidnapped, raped, beaten and killed. All of these things have two things in common - they have been going on for ages, and they are committed by men. Now, for the first time ever, we are actually addressing these problems at their core, and science shows that they all begin in the way men are raised.  Tony Porter, an activist mostly famous for his efforts to end violence against women, launched the idea of the man box in his 2010 Ted talk “A call to men”. The man box is the idea that acknowledges the rules men are taught to live by from a very young age. Men and boys are raised to believe that women are inferior to men by at an early age being punished for showing behavior that they are taught is female , such as showing emotion, seeking love or doing things or dressing in ways that are not stereotypical manly. This form of masculinity that boys are rais...
