Caricatures de Charlie Hebdo: publier ou pas? (Washington Post)

Les grands médias américains s'intéressent toujours à ce qui se passe en France, mais vous aurez deviné que depuis les tristes incidents d'hier cette couverture est majeure. Tout comme c'est le cas au Québec ce matin, certains journaux et/ou site reproduisent des caricatures de Charlie Hebdo. Cet article s'intéresse à la pertinence du geste. On risque ou pas?

 "Similarly, The Post’s executive editor, Martin Baron, said his newspaper avoids publication of material “that is pointedly, deliberately, or needlessly offensive to members of religious groups” and would continue to apply those principles in the wake of the Paris atrocity.

However, The Post’s op-ed page, which is under separate editorial management, will publish one of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons in Thursday’s editions. The image, from the newspaper’s cover in 2011, depicts Muhammad with a caption reading “100 Lashes If You Don’t Die Laughing”; it apparently inspired the firebombing several days after it appeared. “I think seeing the cover will help readers understand what this is all about,” said Fred Hiatt, The Post’s editorial editor."
