Charlie Hebdo
Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical weekly, normally printed about 60,000 copies. The issue that followed the attack on its Paris office was first planned at one million. Within days the figure rose to three million, and then to five million, as demand in France kept climbing. A magazine that had struggled for money since its founding suddenly could not print fast enough.
How did a small, deliberately rude weekly become a symbol recognized around the world? Where did its odd name come from, and why was it born from a ban? What did it publish to draw lawsuits, a firebombing and diplomatic protests long before that January? And who actually owns a magazine that survived all of it?
In 1960, Georges Bernier, known as Professeur Choron, and François Cavanna launched a monthly magazine called Hara-Kiri. Choron directed publication and Cavanna served as editor. Cavanna gathered a team that included Roland Topor, Fred, Jean-Marc Reiser, Georges Wolinski, Gébé and Cabu.
An early reader's letter accused the magazine of being dumb and nasty, in French bête et méchant. The staff liked the insult so much that it became the official slogan. The phrase then made its way into everyday French.
Hara-Kiri was briefly banned in 1961, and again for six months in 1966. Some contributors, among them Gébé, Cabu, Topor and Fred, did not return afterwards. Delfeil de Ton, Pierre Fournier and Willem joined the team. In February 1969 the staff added a weekly focused on current affairs, first called Hara-Kiri Hebdo and renamed L'Hebdo Hara-Kiri that May. Hebdo is short for hebdomadaire, which means weekly.
In November 1970, the former president Charles de Gaulle died in his home village of Colombey-les-Deux-Églises. Eight days earlier, a fire at the Club Cinq-Sept nightclub had killed 146 people. The weekly ran a cover spoofing the popular press's coverage of that fire, headlined "Tragic Ball at Colombey, one dead". The authorities banned the weekly as a result.
To sidestep the ban, the team changed the title to Charlie Hebdo. The name came from Charlie, a monthly comics magazine that Bernier and Delfeil de Ton had started in 1969. That monthly was named after Charlie Brown, the lead character of Peanuts, one of the comics it first published. The new title doubled as an inside joke about Charles de Gaulle, and the first issue carried a Peanuts strip because the editors were fans.
Publication ceased in December 1981. Cavanna's editorship, which had begun in 1970, ended with it.
In 1991, Gébé, Cabu and others reunited to work for La Grosse Bertha, a new weekly that resembled Charlie Hebdo. It was created in reaction to the First Gulf War and edited by the singer and comedian Philippe Val.
The following year, Val clashed with the publisher, who wanted apolitical humour, and was fired. Gébé and Cabu walked out with him. The three asked Cavanna, Delfeil de Ton and Wolinski for help. After much searching for a new name, they settled on the obvious one.
The new Charlie Hebdo began in July 1992 amid much publicity, and its first issue sold 100,000 copies. Val, Gébé, Cabu and the singer Renaud owned it. Val was editor and Gébé was publication director. Choron, who had fallen out with his former colleagues, tried to restart a weekly Hara-Kiri. It was short-lived, and he died in January 2005.
On the 26th of April 1996, Cavanna, Charb and Val filed 173,704 signatures, gathered over eight months. They wanted to ban the political party Front National. Their argument was that it contravened articles 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
The team also fought among themselves. In 2000, the journalist Mona Chollet was sacked after she protested a Val article that called Palestinians "non-civilised". When Gébé died in 2004, Val succeeded him as director of publication while keeping his post as editor.
On the 2nd of July 2008, a column by the veteran cartoonist Siné cited a rumour about Jean Sarkozy, son of Nicolas Sarkozy. It claimed he planned to convert to Judaism before marrying his fiancée, Jewish heiress Jessica Sebaoun-Darty. Siné added, "he'll go far, this lad!" Complaints of antisemitism followed. Val ordered Siné to write a letter of apology or face termination. Siné said he would rather "cut his own balls off", and he was promptly fired.
Both sides filed lawsuits, and Siné won damages for wrongful termination. He then launched a rival paper, Siné Hebdo, which later became Siné Mensuel.
In 2009, Val resigned after being appointed director of France Inter, a public radio station. His functions were split between two cartoonists, Charb and Riss. Val gave away his shares in 2011, and within the year the new leadership would see its offices firebombed.
On the 9th of February 2006, the front page showed a weeping Muhammad saying "C'est dur d'être aimé par des cons", which means "it's hard being loved by idiots". The headline read "Mahomet débordé par les intégristes", or "Muhammad overwhelmed by fundamentalists". The paper reprinted the twelve cartoons from the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy and added some of its own.
A regular issue sold 100,000 copies, but this one sold 160,000, with another 150,000 in print later that day. President Jacques Chirac condemned "overt provocations" that could inflame passions. "Anything that can hurt the convictions of someone else, in particular religious convictions, should be avoided," Chirac said.
The Grand Mosque of Paris, the Muslim World League and the Union of French Islamic Organisations sued, claiming the edition included racist cartoons. A later edition carried a statement from a group of twelve writers warning against Islamism. The suit by the Grand Mosque and the Union reached court in February 2007 and was limited to three cartoons. One showed Muhammad with a bomb in his turban.
Val argued that "it is racist to imagine that they can't understand a joke". Francis Szpiner, lawyer for the Grand Mosque, replied: "Two of those caricatures make a link between Muslims and Muslim terrorists. That has a name and it's called racism."
Future president Nicolas Sarkozy sent a letter to be read in court, supporting the ancient French tradition of satire. François Bayrou and future president François Hollande also backed freedom of expression. The French Council of the Muslim Faith criticised these statements, saying they politicised a court case.
On the 22nd of March 2007, Val was acquitted. The court followed the state attorney's reasoning that two of the three cartoons targeted Muslim terrorists rather than Islam. The bomb-in-turban cartoon, it said, belonged in the context of a magazine that attacked religious fundamentalism.
In November 2011, the paper's office in the 20th arrondissement was fire-bombed and its website hacked. The attacks were presumed to be linked to the edition of the 3rd of November 2011, renamed "Charia Hebdo", with Muhammad listed as "editor-in-chief". Its cover cartoon by Luz, whose full name is Rénald Luzier, had Muhammad saying: "100 lashes of the whip if you don't die laughing".
That issue answered news of sharia law being introduced in Libya after its elections and the victory of an Islamist party in Tunisia. It focused on the oppression of women, with attention to domestic violence, mandatory veiling, forced marriage and stoning for adultery. It also targeted the treatment of gays and dissenters. Its guest editor Muhammad appeared as a good-humoured voice of reason who called for a separation between politics and religion. The magazine answered the bombing by distributing about four times its usual number of copies.
Charb told Associated Press that the attackers might be "stupid people who don't know what Islam is". Mohammed Moussaoui, head of the French Council of the Muslim Faith, deplored the paper's mocking tone but reaffirmed his opposition to all violence. The prime minister François Fillon and interior minister Claude Guéant voiced support, as did the feminist writer Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
In September 2012, the paper published a new series of Muhammad cartoons, some of them nude. They appeared days after attacks on US embassies in the Middle East, purportedly provoked by the film Innocence of Muslims. France closed its embassies, consulates, cultural centres and international schools in about 20 Muslim countries. Riot police surrounded the magazine's offices.
Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius asked: "Is it really sensible or intelligent to pour oil on the fire?" The US White House questioned the magazine's judgment. The newspaper's editor answered: "We do caricatures of everyone, and above all every week, and when we do it with the Prophet, it's called provocation."
On the 7th of January 2015, two Islamist gunmen forced their way into the Paris headquarters of Charlie Hebdo and opened fire. Twelve people died and eleven were wounded, four of them seriously. The dead included the cartoonists Charb, Cabu, Honoré, Tignous and Wolinski, and the economist Bernard Maris. Editors Elsa Cayat and Mustapha Ourrad were killed, along with guest Michel Renaud and maintenance worker Frédéric Boisseau. Police officers Brinsolaro and Merabet also died.
The gunmen shouted "Allahu akbar" and also "the Prophet is avenged". President Hollande called it a "terrorist attack of the most extreme barbarity". The gunmen were identified as Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, French Muslim brothers of Algerian descent.
The day after, the remaining staff announced that the magazine would continue, with the next edition on its usual schedule. The website went offline shortly after the shooting. When it returned, it carried a black page bearing a phrase in white letters.
That phrase was Je suis Charlie, French for "I am Charlie". The journalist and artist Joachim Roncin created the Twitter account and the original image just after the massacre, using a font in the Charlie Hebdo style. The slogan became the hashtag #jesuischarlie and appeared on placards, stickers and mobile phones at vigils. Many media websites displayed it. Other symbols circulated too, including pens held in the air and the phrase "Not Afraid", but Je suis Charlie spread furthest.
Rallies took place in cities across France on the 10th and the 11th of January 2015, to honour the victims and support freedom of speech. Luz, a survivor, welcomed the support but criticised symbols contrary to the magazine's values. "People sang La Marseillaise," he said, adding that Charb, Tignous, Cabu, Honoré and Wolinski "would all have abhorred that kind of attitude".
Willem, another surviving cartoonist, called support for free expression "naturally a good thing". He rejected the support of far-right figures such as Geert Wilders and Marine Le Pen: "We vomit on those who suddenly declared that they were our friends."
Abroad, the post-attack issue set off unrest. In Niger, ten people died, dozens were injured and at least nine churches were burned. The Guardian reported seven churches burned in Niamey alone, with more on fire in Maradi and Goure. In Zinder, demonstrators burned French flags. In Karachi, Pakistan, the Agence France-Presse photographer Asif Hassan was seriously injured by a shot to the chest. Protesters clashed with police in Algiers and Jordan, while peaceful demonstrations were held in Khartoum, Russia, Mali, Senegal and Mauritania.
In Grozny, the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov declared a regional holiday and denounced "people without spiritual and moral values". The crowd was estimated at between 600,000 and a million people. One week after the murders, Donald Trump mocked the magazine, comparing it to another satirical publication he called "nasty and dishonest" and saying it was close to financial collapse.
The awards were split as sharply as the opinions. The Islamic Human Rights Commission, a British NGO, gave Charlie Hebdo its 2015 international "Islamophobe of the Year" award. The British National Secular Society named the staff Secularist of the Year 2015. The magazine donated that award's £5,000 prize to the fund supporting the victims' families.
On the 5th of May 2015, the PEN American Center gave the magazine its Freedom of Expression Courage Award in New York City. The decision was so contested that 175 prominent authors boycotted the gala, citing "cultural intolerance" of the magazine.
By the end of 2014, Charlie Hebdo faced a loss of €100,000. It had struggled financially since its establishment, and an appeal to readers for donations had brought nothing.
The attack changed the books overnight. International attention brought some €4 million in donations from individuals, corporations and institutions. Between January and October 2015, subscriptions and newsstand sales added €15 million. According to figures the magazine confirmed, it gained more than €60 million in 2015. That fell to €19.4 million in 2016. The revenue from the survivors' issue was pledged to the families of the victims.
Public and press money followed. The French government granted nearly €1 million. The Digital Innovation Press Fund, partly funded by Google, gave €250,000, matching a donation from the French Press and Pluralism Fund. The Guardian Media Group pledged £100,000.
Safety carried its own bill. As of 2018, Riss said the magazine was spending between €1 million and €1.5 million a year on security services.
Ownership has been just as concentrated. As of March 2011, Charb held 600 shares, Riss 599 and finance director Éric Portheault 299. Cabu and Bernard Maris held one share each. After the 2015 attack, Riss and Portheault bought Charb's 40% stake from his parents, and by July 2015 they were the sole shareholders.
Since 2016, Riss has been publishing director and owns 70% of the shares, with Portheault holding the other 30%. The magazine switched to a legal press publisher status that requires 70% of profits to be reinvested. Gérard Biard is its current editor-in-chief.
On the 1st of September 2020, Charlie Hebdo announced it would republish the Muhammad caricatures that had sparked violent protests. The timing was deliberate. The trial of suspected perpetrators of the January 2015 shooting was scheduled to begin the following day.
Instagram suspended two accounts belonging to Charlie Hebdo employees for several hours after they posted the caricatures. The accounts were reinstated after Instagram found they had been targeted by a reporting campaign from people who wished to censor the images.
On the 25th of September 2020, an assailant stabbed two people outside the magazine's former headquarters. Both were critically injured. The building is now used by a television production company, and the victims were its workers. The attacker fled but was arrested nearby, and six other people were arrested in connection with the attack.
The next day, the attacker was identified as Zaheer Hassan Mehmood, 25. He was allegedly from Pakistan and claimed to have arrived in France as an unaccompanied minor refugee in 2018. He confessed and said he acted in vengeance for the republished caricatures. He also said he did not know the headquarters had moved.
Interior minister Gérald Darmanin called it "fundamentally an act of Islamist terrorism". Prime minister Jean Castex said "the enemies of the republic will not win". President Emmanuel Macron faced backlash for defending the caricatures, while European leaders supported his remarks. Many Muslims called for French products to be boycotted, and supermarkets in Kuwait and Qatar did so.
The schoolteacher Samuel Paty had been beheaded in France after showing Charlie Hebdo caricatures of Muhammad to his students in a lesson on free speech. Tensions over Macron's comments rose with Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and France recalled its ambassador to Ankara. Then Charlie Hebdo put a caricature of Erdoğan on its front page.
Erdoğan admitted he had not yet seen the cartoon, yet he called it "despicable", "insulting" and "disgusting". He accused the magazine of "cultural racism". In October 2020, Turkish prosecutors began investigating a criminal complaint filed by Erdoğan, whose lawyers called the cartoon libel and "not covered by freedom of expression". In Turkey, insulting the president is punishable by four years in prison.
Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei and Pakistan's prime minister Imran Khan criticised Macron and called for action against Islamophobia. India's prime minister Narendra Modi and Danish foreign minister Jeppe Kofod defended him. The new cartoon was still ahead of the biggest argument the magazine would have about its own audience.
Daniel Schneidermann argues that the 2015 attack gave the paper a profile among non-Francophone audiences, who see only selectively translated parts of it. That, he says, makes it easy to misrepresent its editorial stance. In February 2015, the magazine's lawyer Richard Malka tried to block Charpie Hebdo, a pastiche of the paper, and was accused of attacking press freedom.
In October 2015, a cartoon showed Nadine Morano as a baby with Down syndrome in the arms of General de Gaulle, after she made remarks supporting the National Front. Critics read it as disparaging to people with disabilities. A reader whose daughter has Down syndrome wrote: "The stupidity isn't trisomy."
The issue of the 14th of September 2015 carried a cover by Coco showing a migrant maltreated by a man proclaiming "welcome to refugees", meant to parody European claims about compassion. Riss's editorial called Hungarian politicians hypocritical for invoking Christian belief while rejecting Syrian migrants. The issue also included a caricature of the dead Syrian Kurdish child Alan Kurdi beside a McDonald's sign. Coco said she was criticising the consumerist society sold to migrants like a dream.
After Metrojet Flight 9268 crashed in October 2015 with 224 civilians killed, mostly Russians, the magazine published cartoons that Russia perceived as mocking the victims. A spokesman for Vladimir Putin called the artwork "sacrilege", and members of the State Duma called for the magazine to be banned as extremist literature. In December 2016, Russia accused it of mocking the Black Sea plane crash, which killed 92 people including 64 members of the Alexandrov Ensemble choir.
In March 2016, the cover featured Yahweh with a Kalashnikov rifle. The Vatican and Jewish groups said they were offended, and the Associated Press censored images of the cover. The same month, a cover after the Brussels bombings parodied Stromae's song Papaoutai, upsetting the Belgian public and Stromae's family, because his father was murdered in the Rwandan genocide.
On the 2nd of September 2016, following an Italian earthquake that caused 294 deaths, the magazine ran a cartoon titled "Séisme à l'italienne" showing victims as pasta dishes. Coco answered the outcry: "Italians... it's not Charlie Hebdo who builds your houses, it's the Mafia!" The French ambassador in Rome said France's position was not the one the magazine expressed. In October 2016, the town of Amatrice sued for aggravated defamation, and the trial opened in Paris on the 9th of October 2020.
On the 13th of March 2021, a front-page cartoon, "Why I Left Buckingham Palace", showed Queen Elizabeth II kneeling on the neck of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, after the couple's interview with Oprah Winfrey. It drew backlash for paralleling the royal family with the murder of George Floyd. On the 7th of February 2023, a day after severe earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, a cartoon by Juin was criticised as racist by the journalist Sally Shakkour.
The September 2024 issue on the Mazan rapes earned outrage from women's rights activists, and an October 2024 sketch on the case of Gisèle Pelicot sparked significant public reaction. On the 23rd of December 2025, a cartoon depicting Rokhaya Diallo drew her criticism as "racist" and "colonial".
The most recent case came on the 9th of January 2026, the day of the state funeral for victims of the Crans-Montana fire. A Swiss lawyer and his wife have filed a criminal complaint against the magazine over a cartoon it published that day.
