Je Suis Charlie

In newsrooms around the world, the twelve people slaughtered in the attack on offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris yesterday were remembered.
In 2014, almost 100 journalists died while doing their jobs.
Freedom of speech comes at a cost and must be preserved.

Yes, I knew that one would hit home with you. I like this tribute; the black and white (particularly the black) speaks to the seriousness of the event, the bold text speaks to the grubby little thugs' inability to suppress freedom of speech.

As a NPPA member I totally agree with you. Je Suis Charlie!

Je suis Charlie aussi - very sad. v

Such a terrible event, and I couldn't agree with you more. The free media is currently under attack in Turkey (where my newspaper is based), and we have had more journalists under arrest than any other country in the world. For merely doing their job...

I hate all forms of INTOLERANCE. Je suis Charlie. V

A very effective image to reflect our disgust and outrage. Their actions certainly will not further their cause!

Thank you for this reminder.

Merci, pour cet hommage. Tous ceux qui luttent contre l'obscurantisme, le fanatisme, l'intolérance, l'ignorance... tous, quelques soient leurs moyens, sont aujourd'hui des Charlie.

your solidarity is well placed..it is essential media report and comment freely, and no twisted, brutal interpretation of ancient myths should be allowed to quash that right...

I am appalled by these awful deaths. Publish the truth and spread the news to keep evil at bay.

What is the world coming to, is there any end to this bloodshed!

Je suis Charlie from the USA!
I wish that every paper in the world would post the cartoons that Charlie was posting. Journalists need to stand together and not let these barbarians tell them what they can and cannot publish. Otherwise there's no longer a free press and every paper should then shut down.

A sombre day for all, in particular for journalists who are feeling the despicable act in Paris, acutely. So glad you posted this.

Thank's for this reminder. In fact almost hundered journalists died in 2014, killed for our freedom. Charlie is all of them, nous sommes Charlie!
