Response to Charlie Hebdo Attack from Carnegie-Knight Consortium of Journalism School Deans

Using terror to intimidate and throttle free speech is not new. And it must not be allowed to succeed.

We, as members of the Carnegie-Knight consortium of journalism schools, stand with all those who defy murderous efforts to silence a free and open media.

We are sad and we are angry at the brutal assault on our colleagues in Paris.

But we will not be silenced.
