The Media and Democracy Project "Hero of the Month" is Ann Telnaes. Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist @anntelnaes.bsky.social had her cartoon lampooning Jeff Bezos spiked by a @washingtonpost.com editor/Jeff Bezos employee. Her response was courageous and inspiring. #StandWithAnn 1/n

Tomorrow, January 7th, will be the 10 year anniversary of the Charlie Hebdo massacre (cartoonists and journalists murdered in a terrorist attack (in Paris, France) because of some cartoons that the murderers disliked).

Free press and freedom of expression is under attack all over the world. It has been for a while now.
We can't let terrorists dictate what we can say or draw. We can't let billionaires do it either.

"De verantwoordelijke eindredacteur van de krant laat aan persbureau AP weten dat hij het niet eens is met de "interpretatie" die Telnaes van de gang van zaken geeft.

De reden waarom de tekening geweigerd werd, is volgens hem dat de krant net een column over hetzelfde onderwerp had gepubliceerd en op het punt stond nog zo'n column te publiceren."

Dat gelooft geen hond.
