Charlie Hebdo (French pronunciation: ​[ʃaʁli ɛbˈdo]; French for Charlie Weekly) is a French satirical weekly magazine,[3] featuring cartoons, reports, polemics, and jokes. Irreverent and stridently non-conformist in tone, the publication describes itself as strongly anti-racist, anti-religious[4] and left-wing, publishing articles on the extreme right, religion (Catholicism, Islam, Judaism), politics, culture, etc. According to its former editor Stéphane Charbonnier ("Charb&quot , the magazine's editorial viewpoint reflects "all components of left wing pluralism, and even abstainers".[5]

The magazine has been the target of two terrorist attacks, in 2011 and in 2015, presumed to be in response to a number of controversial Muhammad cartoons it published. In the second of these attacks, twelve people were killed, including Charbonnier and several contributors.

Charlie Hebdo first appeared in 1970 as a successor to the Hara-Kiri magazine, which was banned for mocking the death of former French President Charles de Gaulle.[6] In 1981 publication ceased, but the magazine was resurrected in 1992. The magazine's current editor is Gérard Biard who took over the role when Charbonnier, who had been editor since 2009, was killed.
