Bild's stance over Alan Kurdi images a typically bold move

Unashamedly populist and unafraid of controversy, the German tabloid published no images at all in its Tuesday edition in response to complaints The gesture was as bold as it was typical of Bild, Germany’s biggest-selling tabloid. In response to readers’ complaints about its decision to publish the image of drowned three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi last week, the Berlin-based daily pulled every one of its news pictures on Tuesday. The paper said it wanted to “show the importance of photos in journalism” and that it was “worth fighting every day for the best”. It replaced all photographs in its print edition, which sells 2.2m copies a day, with a grey rectangle, and images on its website were also greyed out until midday.
