Here's a small collection of editorial cartoons put together by the American Association of Editorial Cartoonists, who add this warning:
"There's an old saying about newspapers: 'Don't pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.' You know who else has a lot of ink? Cartoonists"

Mike,
ReplyDeleteDo you know of any online or physical petitions to register disagreement with the NYT decision? I subscribe to two papers, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat and the San Francisco Chronicle, but not the NYT. I'm not sure is an email or letter from a non-subsriber would carry much weight; a petition may be better. If there is one, perhaps you can provide a link.
Keep up the good work - I appreciate all the news you include!
Rob Spillane
Thanks for this, Mike
ReplyDeleteHi RoB - I wish I knew of an online petition. If you hear of one, I would be glad to post about it here.
ReplyDeleteHi Jason - But of course. And congrats on being the new head of the NCS!
