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.

[Carleton J-School @JSchool_CU]

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. https://t.co/YuS3Cq5Kek

@CABJMedia Congratulations.

[Allan Thompson @ProfAllan]

I might make an appearance tonight on CBC's The National in a story by Washington correspondent Katie Simpson about what the changes to the venerable CBS program 60 Minutes might mean for democracy and accountability journalism.

Carleton’s @duncanmccue reminds us that Carleton is on the shores of the Rideau River, a legendary Indigenous gathering place over the centuries, the ideal place to celebrate and honour the first learners to complete Carleton’s Certificate in Journalism in Indigenous Communities.

[Allan Thompson @ProfAllan]

The honouring ceremony for the learners who have completed Carleton’s Certificate in Journalism in Indigenous Communities begins with the arrival of the learners, led by Prof. Duncan McCue.

With just a week of training in an intensive video storytelling course, these remarkable students in Carleton's CJIIC program produced a newscast that could easily air on any broadcast. More evidence of a superpower for storytelling.

[Carleton J-School @JSchool_CU]

In a great finale to the Certificate in Journalism in Indigenous Communities, which they began last September, the first cohort of students in the innovative Carleton program finished their coursework today with a triumphant newscast of stories produced for their video class.

On a personal level, I just couldn't be more proud of the 17 students in the remarkable first cohort of our Indigenous journalism program. Storytelling really is their superpower. Looking forward to this afternoon's presentation of the video stories they put together this week.

[Carleton J-School @JSchool_CU]

Final day for the video intensive course that wraps the first year of Carleton's Certificate in Journalism in Indigenous Communities. The 17 students who made up the first class of this remarkable program, led by @duncanmccue, have an honouring ceremony tomorrow. Proud moment.

[Allan Thompson @ProfAllan]

Big week for students in the Indigenous Journalism certificate led by Duncan McCue. The video skills intensive course is led by CBC Indigenous reporter Brett Forester, supported by @JSchool_CU media producer Dave Elliott. Students also shared notes on their workplace internships

[Carleton J-School @JSchool_CU]

The first cohort of Carleton’s landmark Certificate in Journalism in Indigenous Communities began their final course in video journalism today. The week-long intensive at Carleton began at 5:15 a.m. with a Sunrise Ceremony led by Cultural Advisor Marilyn Debassige.

[Mike Murphy @murphymike]

Sanger is a pro. Extremely well-sourced, fair and has a far deeper and more informed understanding of geopolitical complexities than Trump does. This is a perfect encapsulation of the tragic idiocy and crude stupidity of the Trump administration.

[Allan Thompson @ProfAllan]

Here we have Trump accusing a reporter of treason. When will this crazy bullshit stop? Sanger tried to retort but seems to have been lost in the scrum. Other reporters need to step up, remind this elected official you can't accuse journalists of treason. Could put lives in danger

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."

[Allan Thompson @ProfAllan]

Pardon the language, but I couldn't agree more. Working journalists have every right to snap back at such behaviour, perhaps without the profanity just to keep it professional. But, I agree with the sentiment.

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

Steve Harness: “When is a reporter gonna snap back and say don’t you fucking talk to me that way? I’m a goddamned adult. I’m here working. You work for us, asshole. Go fuck yourself. Somebody, for the love of God, I will buy the Pulitzer for you if you will just tell this man how fucking dare you, do not talk to me that way”
