Editor of Metro English Canada. Harper should not describe the deadly attack on a Paris news magazine that killed 12 people Wednesday morning as a Cartoonists around the world respond to shooting “barbaric” act. Karim H. Karim, a professor at the university’s School of Journalism and Communication, said when the word is used to condemn religiously motivated acts of violence, some religious groups interpret it to mean that they as a whole are barbaric. Video footage of the attack ap- peared online showing a man wearing a hood carrying an assault rifle shoot and kill a police officer on a Paris sidewalk at point-blank range. Three attackers killed Charlie Hebdo’s veteran cartoonists, editor and others at the magazine’s office after recent publications of cartoons depicting Islamic figures in controversial ways. Harper and French president François Hollande called the Paris attack “barbaric” in statements Thursday. “I don’t think it’s being helpful to basically cast these words out. When lead- ers do this a lot of people are listening,” said Karim in an interview with Metro. “When ‘barbaric’ gets attached to them, these are the kind of stereotypes and images that are being built up. What is achieved by using rhetoric like that?” Although the attack received praise by supporters of the militant Islamic State group, no specific group has immediately claimed responsibility for it. Karim, a former journalist who teaches communications studies, denounced the attacks, calling them “heinous.” But he argued that using words such Clockwise from top left: Michael as “violent” and “cruel,” would be more De Adder, for Metro News Canada; appropriate than “barbaric,” which has a Rafael Mantesso, Brazil; Loïc Sécher- “moralistic tone which pits one civiliza- esse, France; Ruben L.

Karim did not say the media should outright ban the publication of the cartoons, but he said there needs to be a context justifying why they should be reproduced. “I would not say never do this,” he said. “I think if we have very strong convic- tions and we are justified in what we feel we should be doing, then we should do it.” — with files from The Associated Press Star Media Group President(cid:3)(cid:47)(cid:279)(cid:254)(cid:274)(cid:3)(cid:17)(cid:292)(cid:305)(cid:255)(cid:221)(cid:266)(cid:296)(cid:254)(cid:209)(cid:274)(cid:266)(cid:580)(cid:3)Vice-President & Group Publisher, Metro Western Canada(cid:3)(cid:78)(cid:302)(cid:229)(cid:314)(cid:229)(cid:3)(cid:78)(cid:254)(cid:292)(cid:279)(cid:305)(cid:302)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)Vice-President & Editor-in-Chief, Metro English Canada(cid:3)(cid:17)(cid:209)(cid:302)(cid:254)(cid:292)(cid:255)(cid:274)(cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:292)(cid:209)(cid:225)(cid:220)(cid:305)(cid:292)(cid:317)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)National Deputy Editor Fernando Carneiro (cid:580)(cid:3)National Deputy Editor, Digital(cid:3)(cid:73)(cid:305)(cid:255)(cid:274)(cid:3)(cid:71)(cid:209)(cid:292)(cid:266)(cid:229)(cid:292)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)Managing Editor, Winnipeg(cid:3)(cid:25)(cid:268)(cid:255)(cid:296)(cid:254)(cid:209)(cid:3)(cid:21)(cid:209)(cid:221)(cid:229)(cid:317)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)Managing Editor, Features(cid:3)(cid:5)(cid:273)(cid:220)(cid:229)(cid:292)(cid:3)(cid:78)(cid:254)(cid:279)(cid:292)(cid:302)(cid:302)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)Managing Editor, Canada, World, Business (cid:55)(cid:209)(cid:302)(cid:302)(cid:3)(cid:50)(cid:209)(cid:34)(cid:279)(cid:292)(cid:251)(cid:229)(cid:3)(cid:3)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)Managing Editor, Life & Entertainment (cid:21)(cid:229)(cid:209)(cid:274)(cid:3)(cid:50)(cid:255)(cid:296)(cid:266)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)Distribution Manager: (cid:74)(cid:279)(cid:225)(cid:3)(cid:17)(cid:254)(cid:255)(cid:314)(cid:229)(cid:292)(cid:296)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)Vice President, Content & Sales Solutions (cid:83)(cid:292)(cid:209)(cid:221)(cid:317)(cid:3)(cid:21)(cid:209)(cid:317)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)Vice-President, Sales (cid:55)(cid:209)(cid:292)(cid:266)(cid:3)(cid:34)(cid:255)(cid:274)(cid:274)(cid:229)(cid:317)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)Vice-President, Finance Phil Jameson METRO WINNIPEG(cid:3)(cid:628)(cid:633)(cid:628)(cid:3)(cid:71)(cid:279)(cid:292)(cid:302)(cid:209)(cid:251)(cid:229)(cid:3)(cid:5)(cid:314)(cid:229)(cid:3)(cid:25)(cid:3)(cid:78)(cid:305)(cid:255)(cid:302)(cid:229)(cid:3)(cid:629)(cid:627)(cid:627)(cid:3)(cid:96)(cid:255)(cid:274)(cid:274)(cid:255)(cid:289)(cid:229)(cid:251)(cid:3)(cid:55)(cid:16)(cid:3)(cid:74)(cid:630)(cid:16)(cid:3)(cid:629)(cid:50)(cid:633)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3) Telephone:(cid:3)(cid:629)(cid:627)(cid:631)(cid:575)(cid:636)(cid:631)(cid:630)(cid:575)(cid:636)(cid:630)(cid:627)(cid:627)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)Fax:(cid:3)(cid:635)(cid:635)(cid:635)(cid:575)(cid:635)(cid:631)(cid:633)(cid:575)(cid:627)(cid:635)(cid:636)(cid:631)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)Advertising:(cid:3)(cid:629)(cid:627)(cid:631)(cid:575)(cid:636)(cid:631)(cid:630)(cid:575)(cid:636)(cid:630)(cid:627)(cid:627)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)(cid:209)(cid:225)(cid:255)(cid:274)(cid:238)(cid:279)(cid:315)(cid:255)(cid:274)(cid:274)(cid:255)(cid:289)(cid:229)(cid:251)(cid:605)(cid:273)(cid:229)(cid:302)(cid:292)(cid:279)(cid:274)(cid:229)(cid:315)(cid:296)(cid:553)(cid:221)(cid:209)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)Distribution:(cid:3)(cid:315)(cid:255)(cid:274)(cid:274)(cid:255)(cid:289)(cid:229)(cid:251)(cid:579)(cid:225)(cid:255)(cid:296)(cid:302)(cid:292)(cid:255)(cid:220)(cid:305)(cid:302)(cid:255)(cid:279)(cid:274)(cid:605)(cid:273)(cid:229)(cid:302)(cid:292)(cid:279)(cid:274)(cid:229)(cid:315)(cid:296)(cid:553)(cid:221)(cid:209)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)News tips:(cid:3)(cid:315)(cid:255)(cid:274)(cid:274)(cid:255)(cid:289)(cid:229)(cid:251)(cid:605)(cid:273)(cid:229)(cid:302)(cid:292)(cid:279)(cid:274)(cid:229)(cid:315)(cid:296)(cid:553)(cid:221)(cid:209)(cid:3)(cid:580)(cid:3)Letters to the Editor:(cid:3)(cid:315)(cid:255)(cid:274)(cid:274)(cid:255)(cid:289)(cid:229)(cid:251)(cid:268)(cid:229)(cid:302)(cid:302)(cid:229)(cid:292)(cid:296)(cid:605)(cid:273)(cid:229)(cid:302)(cid:292)(cid:279)(cid:274)(cid:229)(cid:315)(cid:296)(cid:553)(cid:221)(cid:209) 10 GOSSIP metronews.ca Thursday, January 8, 2015 Gossip Aniston awash with fears aft er her near-fatal NED EHRBAR tricycle accident: Honest!
