The Charlie Hebdo Massacre.
What happened yesterday in Paris was of course horrible: the murder of 12 people, mainly journalists, at the offices of the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo in Paris. Today and the next few are a time for grieving. For the polar ends of media coverage style to date, See today's NYT editorial The Charlie Hebdo Massacre in Paris, which I think gets a few things right. And see Ma Life!!, the blog of Eric Salch. Eventually, however, I hope to try write something longer on the "Je Suis Charlie" movement about which in bare summary in Facebook (when news breaks, I do summaries, rough drafts and notes on Facebook, apparently) has already made a few people angry. I'm not alone in wondering where the current "Je suis Charlie" slogan and movement up to now may, in part, be missing the point.
