Charlie Hebdo will not stop skewering politics and religion alike despite the horrificJanuary 7th attack (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/07/satirical-french-magazine-charlie-hebdo-attacked-by-gunmen) that killed 12 people, including many of its staff and two policemen. Instead, the Paris-based journal will publish a million copies of its next edition on January 14th, compared to a normal printing run of around 50,000. It'll probably sell out, given a spontaneous display of unity and support (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/01/07/charlie-hebdo-rally-photos_n_6430144.html) for freedom of speech displayed by French protesters. To make the run possible, the government kicked in almost €1 million ($1.2 million), while French newspapers pledged €250,000 ($296,000). Google's Press Innovation Fund (http://www.finp.fr/) added another €250,000 and the Guardian Media Group contributed £100,000 ($150,000). The paper is also asking the public (https://www.donspep.caissedesdepots.fr/?journal=CHAR) to subscribe at a reduced rate or make a donation.
