Illustrating Chappatte: New wave graphic journalism
Not many editorial cartoonists are given three page spreads at the front of the news section, nor do they go out into the field. However, in today’s edition of Le Temps, you may notice a rather eye-catching report on South Lebanon. Pages two through four are dedicated to editorial cartoonist Patrick Chappatte’s illustrated report on cluster bombs dropped during the 2006 conflict between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, and the effect it has had on lives of the people who live there three years later. WRS’s Video Journalist, Amy Wong, paid a visit to his studio just before the paper went to print.
