In an interview, Julia Mateus, editor-in-chief of Germany’s satire magazine Titanic, discusses the lasting effects of the 2015 Charlie Hebdo attack on satire in the country. She notes the initial wave of solidarity but argues that the attention to satire waned shortly thereafter. Mateus emphasizes that, unlike Charlie Hebdo, Titanic maintains a different approach to religious topics, treating them with humor but not as a central focus.
