Rejected Western Carolina Cartoon Sparks Debate Over Publication



This is probably the most rational discussion I've ever seen on-line about a rejected political cartoon, to the point where the editor that did the rejecting contacts a former editor who talks about why he wouldn't have done the same thing. I think it's worth noting just because while we cover some stories where a cartoon is waved away by an editor for reasons that seem minor and/or ridiculous, a lot of the time it's a judgment call by those gatekeeper.

I would imagine that in the long run, you're better off with an editor involved in the messages being shaped by his paper than with someone that isn't, but there are certainly potential problems along the way. This also the usual modern story elements in that the cartoon was published on-line through alternate means, and the discussion is driven in part by twitter.
