We decided it did not meet our longstanding policy of not publishing words or imagery that are grossly offensive to religious, racial, or ethnic groups. It's a judgment we face daily and have made many times before.

At some point you have to publish. You can't sit there waiting for every last piece of information, because the paper would then go out at noon, and people would wonder why they didn't get their paper.

At some point, you have to actually print the newspaper and have it on people's doorsteps when they wake up. What was the alternative? Not to report that? I think that's a bit unrealistic.
