The horrific attacks on journalists at the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo have generated sympathy around the world. On Wednesday, Reynolds Week fellows participated in the tribute at the Cronkite School at Arizona State University.

Standing before a mural of the first amendment, the fellows held up placards reading, “Je Suis Charlie” (I Am Charlie) — the hashtag that has become a universal sentiment.

Several fellows posted group and individual photos on Twitter.

Meanwhile, the Je Suis Charlie movement has made itself known in a number of public places. NASDAQ, the over the counter stock market, displayed a tribute in Times Square on Thursday.

And, the Eiffel Tower went dark Thursday night in Paris.

We mourn the 10 journalists and two security staffers who were killed in the attacks and send our best wishes to the injured. #JeSuisCharlie has united journalists and the public in a heartfelt movement.
