Tidbits from Campus: Victor Navasky Explores the Power of Political Cartoons

In his new book, The Art of Controversy: Political Cartoons and Their Enduring Power, Journalism School Professor Victor Navasky examines influential political cartoonists from the 18th century to the present.

What prompted Navasky to write the book was the furor that erupted in 2005, when the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published 12 cartoons depicting the Islamic Prophet Muhammad.
