Mint pulls out CH cartoons

IN Media Watch Briefs | 12/01/2015
The decision to reprint the controversial Charlie Hebdo cartoons may be foolhardy even if it is  an article of faith. While the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten decided not to do so, closer home, Mint went ahead and front-paged some of its covers in its January 8 print edition. But now, it has pulled that collage out of its online edition and a little paragraph at the end of this report offered the explanation that it was removed because the paper had received feedback that it had offended some, and that was never its intention.
