All is forgiven…It was the front page of Charlie Hebdo according to the one who followed the carnage in the editorial staff of the newspaper on the morning of January 7, 2015. The one who in the wake of the killing, the death of Cabu Charb Honoré Tignous and Wolinski, had shattered all the newspaper’s sales records and re-mobilized an entire country around freedom of expression. 10 years later, how many still defend this art of press cartoons which dates back more than a century?
Among those who shouted, wrote and posted the famous “Je suis Charlie” everywhere on the networks, how many took to the streets to defend the right to caricature? There are much, much fewer than in 2015. So do humor and drawing still have their place in the press? How can we defend them when society is fractured?
