As the incoming head of Carleton's journalism program, I'm deeply committed to the steps we're taking today to foster greater diversity and inclusion @JSchool_CU and to tackle institutionalized racism. This is just a beginning.
The leaders of Carleton University’s journalism program have issued a letter to students outlining new steps being taken to foster greater diversity and inclusiveness in Canada’s oldest journalism school.

The podcast summer camp we're running this week @JSchool_CU is at full capacity, with a cohort doing podcast training with the amazing Caroline O'Neill and David Sarazin in the morning while the afternoon podcast group does sports. I see a lot of future journalists in the room.
