European Papers Defy Paris Attacks to Re-Publish Muhammad Cartoons
Posted in: Uncategorized
European news organizations are challenging attempts to intimidate the press by publishing controversial cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad across front pages today, following the deadly attack at French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
From Britain’s Guardian newspaper and Berlin’s Tagesspiegel, to best-selling Czech daily Blesk and Spain’s El Pais, Europe’s news groups honored their murdered colleagues by republishing the cartoons central to yesterday’s assault, which left 12 dead, including 8 journalists.
In North America, some agencies decided against publishing the cartoons, including The Associated Press, CBC News and CNN.
