Jackson Proskow

2nd Guest Speaker - October 28th

Jackson joined Global Toronto in January 2006, but his career in broadcasting started well before that, in his hometown of Calgary. As a 16 year old high school student, Jackson found himself reporting for Shaw TV and freelancing for CBC Radio. Bitten by the news bug, he pursued broadcast journalism at the University of Calgary and the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. After graduation, Jackson was hired by Global News in Lethbridge, Alberta. The small station gave him a chance to do just about everything, from reporting, to anchoring the weekend news and even filling in on the weather desk. There were also some incredible news stories to cover, from the flood of the century to a tornado that touched down right in front of Jackson's camera. Jackson's next move was to CH TV in Hamilton, and included more wild weather. A career highlight includes the hours of breaking news coverage, after a tornado touched down in the city. Now in Toronto, Jackson is looking for new challenges. He is currently the Municipal Affairs Specialist for Global.
