Thanks, More Please

Hundreds of people have written to the New York Times since the story broke in Editor & Publisher and elsewhere, including Tom Tomorrow’s popular blog, about the paper’s website’s decision to drop my cartoons–a decision that they admit was in reaction to getting tired of dealing with reader (i.e., right-wing) complaint emails.

I don’t know whether your letters will make a difference relative to getting them to pick up my cartoons again, but I do hope that it will make them think twice the next time they decide to do something similar. If censors face as many complaints from outraged readers as non-censors do from outraged nonreaders, the balance of power may begin to shift. In the meantime, I recommend keeping on the pressure. If you haven’t yet written to the Times, please do so. And if you’re just looking for a website that carries my cartoons, you can come here, or to the Washington Post, or any number of other sites.
