NCS Journal Nixes Muhammed Cartoon

According to David Astor at Editor & Publisher, the National Cartoonists Society took a pass on including an ad from cartoonist Keith Robinson that included a depiction of the Prophet Muhammed. Instead the publication let him reference the fact that his cartoon was denied inclusion, and provide a URL to any who wanted to see it. Astor's piece includes a long explanation from the cartoonist why he wanted to do such a cartoon. I think Robinson's correct in that fear rather than a sensitivity to religious prescriptions drove the decision of most editors not to run any of the Danish Muhammed cartoons, and had a further impact on how the story was covered.
