Was the attack on Charlie Hebdo a turning point for political art?
On Wednesday, masked gunman with suspected ties to al-Qaeda stormed the Paris offices of satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, massacring 12 people. This week's attack jolted media organizations around the world, but does it have the power to change what political cartoonists draw and what editors choose to publish?
On Wednesday, masked gunman with suspected ties to al-Qaeda stormed the Paris offices of satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo, massacring 12 people -- including the editor and several of France's top cartoonists. Charlie Hebdo had been threatened in the past for lampooning Islam and the Prophet Mohammad, but it didn't stop, even when the office was firebombed in 2011. This week's attack jolted media organizations around the world, but does it have the power to change what political cartoonists draw and what editors choose to publish? Jytte Klausen, terrorism expert and author of The Cartoons that Shook the World, and Anita Kunz, celebrated Canadian cartoon artist join Brent to discuss.
