1. Giorgio Forattini dropped by La Stampa after publication of anti-Israel cartoon.

2. John Cole let go by Durham paper, further evidence of the tenuous position of editorial cartoonists in this day and age.

3. Awards season continues in the French-speaking market and begins in the English-speaking one.

Winners of the Week
