News outlets including The Associated Press and The Telegraph are censoring some of Charlie Hebdo's covers following Wednesday's attack.

Most notably, AP, the world's largest news collective, announced Wednesday that it is deleting its photos of Charlie Hebdo covers mocking the Prophet Muhammad. The Charlie Hebdo office was attacked by masked gunmen on Wednesday, and 12 people, including the newspaper's editor in chief as well as several cartoonists, were killed.
