Once they published the front page of the first issue after the attack on the satirical magazine “Charlie Hebdo”, it was massively spread through the social networks, but most of the traditional media didn’t publish it.
The first medium that published the front page was French newspaper “Liberation”, which provided premises to journalists and cartoonists who survived the attack in order to prepare an edition of the magazine which is to be published tomorrow. The cartoon is signed by Luz, the same cartoonist who drew the controversial cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad three years ago. The cartoonist Luz, whose real name is Renald Luzier, missed last week’s massacre because he overslept half hour and arrived late to work.
Outside France, “The Washington Post”, German “Frankfurter allgemeine”, Italian “Corriere della Sera” and the British “Guardian” are part of the few media that published the cartoon.
In “BBC”, the front page is fully described with words, but the image cannot be seen anywhere in the text.
In “The Independent”, a very small picture of the cartoon with the Prophet Muhammad is published by the text. Also, in “Guardian”, at the beginning of the text has a warning to readers that the text contains the front page of the magazine, which someone can find offensive.
British “Telegraph” published only part of the front page, i.e. the top, where stands the magazine logo and the phrase “All is forgiven”, but it left out the character of the Prophet Muhammad. The text completely described the front page in words.
