Mr Media

Mike Gange teaches media studies and journalism courses at Fredericton High School. 

He began working in radio at age 15, as a teen on a radio station for military personnel and their families. He paid his undergrad tuition at UNB by working in radio and print. Later he worked in radio, television and print media in small, medium and large markets in Canada.

He has a Masters degree in Education and a Masters degree in Journalism.

He has written more than 150 book reviews for local media and for on-line journalism efforts. Most of his reviews are of books that deal with the mass media — advertising, radio, television, comics, magazines, movies, or about business and social implications or about sports.  He regulary calls play-by-play on radio, television and Internet hockey and basketball games.

Mike has been known as “Mr Media” since 1992. He owns the name in Canada. The name “Mr Media” was chosen not out of arrogance or pretentiousness, but rather out of playfulness and exhuberance for the many good things to be explored and understood in all mass media. 

 Be sure to come back often, as it is updated regularly.
