A war vet that dedicated 40 years to ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´.
When war vet and former reporter Wilfred Kesterton graduated from ÐÓ°ÉÔ´´â€™s new Bachelor of Journalism program in 1949, he was immediately hired as the program’s second full-time faculty member. He remained for 40 years, helping educate several generations of Canadian journalists, and became a leading scholar of Canadian journalism history and media law.
