Links, Statements And Notes As They Relate To The Charlie Hebdo Killings

This recurring column is a clearinghouse for various links and articles related to the killings in and around the Charlie Hebdo offices, and its violent aftermath in Paris a couple of days later. There will be links to material and the employment of images here or in the linked-to articles that may upset. Every link and every image used is intended to better facilitate this site's mission to inform.

* the Palestinian cartoonist Mohammed Sabaaneh is being investigated for a cartoon that he made that people felt depicted the prophet Muhammed despite Sabaaneh saying this is not so. There was an apology and a suspension.

* missed this Michael Cavna article on people being polled about the publication of Muhammed cartoons.

* Todd Lanier Lester looks back.

* Jonathan Guyer and Benedict Evans write about the task of making editorial cartoons in Egypt and how the Hebdo killings and its aftermath made that job more difficult.

* a lot of folks have been pointing to this article as a way of thinking that might inform people on the issues currently before us including Hebdo. I don't think this one applies, really, but the people who sent me the link sure do.

* even more of you have sent me this article from Charles Campbell, specifically about media coverage of the event.

* I'm not sure I knew there was a benefit book.

* here's a really nice selection of Canadian-related Hebdo links from Sequential.

* here's a link to a Sarah Horrocks essay well worth reading and a curt response.

* Derf visited the still-remaining public memorial (another one had been cleaned up, apparently) before returning home from France.

* finally, Maren Williams writes on the different conception of free speech that exists in France. I think that's the source of a lot of frustration for people who saw the killings an issue of free speech first and foremost, but maybe did so without being aware of the vastly different conceptions of this principle in play out there.
