The Telegraph has clips from a press conference in which the Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Luz describes his thinking about the cover for the January 14th issue.
I invoked all the talents of the magazine, all those who were not there any more, all those were still there, I said to myself, we must do a drawing that above all makes us laugh, and not one on the emotional charge we are victims of. [Read more…]
Libération reports on Charlie Hebdo’s exile at Libération and the process of putting together the January 14 issue.
They were working in a rush in a new space and without most of their own equipment, not to mention all the emotional turmoil. There are a bunch of potential covers tacked up on the wall for consideration.
Une très bonne nouvelle, quand même : plusieurs dessins de Riss (touché dans la fusillade et hospitalisé) sont arrivés, avec un jugement esthétique en forme de diagnostic : «Ah ben, ça va, il tremble de moins en moins.»
One piece of very good news, all the same: several cartoons by Riss (wounded in the attack and hospitalized) arrived and got a verdict that was both aesthetic and medical: “Oh great, progress, he’s shaking less and less.”
BuzzFeed has another (in addition to mine, I mean, she said modestly) useful collection of which media outlet did and which did not show the new cover of Charlie Hebdo.
1. Libération: Yes.
No surprise there, since Charlie is now working out of Libération’s office using Libération’s equipment.
2. CNN: No.
3. CBS News: Yes.
4. The Guardian: Yes.
Yes but with a warning at the top. Many points deducted. [Read more…]
The Beeb showed the new Charlie Hebdo cover on the air again, on BBC News 24 –
The Charlie Hebdo effect.
I’m out of time, but want to make sure I draw your attention to this great post by Yemisi: The Charlie Hebdo tragedy: The five crowds that are getting it wrong.
Gotta go.
See
you
tomorrow.

Ironic racism/sexism can be harmful even if the intent is good.
I think it can be–sometimes. And sometimes it can be harmful and also good. [Read more…]
Oh jeez – something I didn’t know – Caroline Fourest is a senior editor of Charlie Hebdo. NBC News talked to her.
A senior editor at Charlie Hebdo says she’s living a nightmare that she could never have prepared for despite years of threats against the magazine.
Caroline Fourest, who has contributed to the satirical magazine for years, told NBC News that she and the staff are working through their shock after the attack, and will show the world they will not be silenced. [Read more…]
Other media are showing the new Charlie Hebdo cover though.
This week’s publication, the first issue of the French satirical weekly since last Wednesday’s deadly attack in Paris, will be offered in 16 languages.
The surviving members of the magazine prepared the edition in the offices of French newspaper Liberation, which said three million copies would be printed. [Read more…]
So the cover of the next Charlie Hebdo appeared on Newsnight, but it doesn’t appear in the story on the BBC website. The story’s headline is “Charlie Hebdo’s latest edition to depict Prophet Muhammad” but the depiction itself is absent. No depiction for you.
The cover of the latest edition of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has been published in French media, and depicts the Prophet Muhammad.
The cover shows the Prophet holding a sign reading “I am Charlie”, below the words “all is forgiven”. [Read more…]
