Deep Thoughts, Bright Ideas
Carleton’s journalism school is more than a professional training ground.
It’s an intellectual hub for faculty and students involved in journalism studies scholarship, research and public discussion about journalism’s past, present and future.
Kesterton Lecture
The endowed Annual Kesterton Lecture series, which began in 2000, is the Carleton Journalism program’s signature public event.
In recognition of the pioneering contribution of journalist and journalism history scholar Wilfred Kesterton, the lectures examine the future of journalism while honouring its past.
