Student Paper Seeks Autonomy Over Cartoons
:: Posted by Bryan @ 2/09/2007 12:03:00 AM The University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI)'s the Cadre student newspaper is seeking to extricate itself from the control of the student union that oversees its editor, according to The Carleton Charlatan:
"push for independence may be due to the student union’s decision to confiscate an edition of the paper last winter that contained controversial Muhammad cartoons. The cartoons sparked outrage in the Muslim community for depicting the prophet Muhammad."
According to the CBC, the paper's editor seeks the move, "Simply to allow us to report properly and not have to kind of look over our shoulders."Labels: censorship, political cartooning
