Wonderful Convocation ceremony Carleton J-School today for Bachelor of Journalism and Master of Journalism graduates from Carleton. We held a reception back in the atrium of Richcraft Hall, our home. The most popular feature seemed to be the photo booth with antique journalism props.

This is prominent Palestinian journalist Bayan Abusultan after miraculously survived an Israeli strike on a cafe that, with one of Gaza's last reliable wi-fi connections, is widely known as somewhere journalists gather to work. Early reports indicate 33 civilians were killed.
