What is the Cartoon Movement?
We're a community of international editorial cartoonists and fans of political satire. The Cartoon Movement is part of The Video Journalism Movement (VJ Movement), an organization dedicated to the promotion of video journalism and press freedom.

I love your cartoons - can I publish them on my site?
We're happy for anyone to use our content for personal, non-commerical use. For all commercial uses of our content, please refer to our licensing information here, or feel free to get in touch with us here.

Who decides what you publish?
We publish the most popular cartoons as decided by our members. Occasionally, we'll also make editorial choices if we decide that a cartoon is particularly timely and we want to have it commissioned immediately. Editorial picks are always clearly labelled.

How often do you publish new cartoons?
We're currently publishing new material 4 times a week.

I'm an editorial cartoonist, how can I get involved?
We'd love to have you on board - our application page is here.

I'm interested in doing comics journalism, how do I get involved?
We are currently looking for comics journalists from around the world that can present unique, professional work on important issues. Please contact our comics journalism editor Matt with project proposals.

I'm not an editorial cartoonist, can I still join?
Of course - please do! You can sign up here.

Do you pay your cartoonists?
Yes. We pay for all the cartoons we publish online.

Who's behind this?
The VJ Movement was founded by web veteran Arend Jan van den Beld and Thomas Loudon, who worked as a video-journalist in Iran and Egypt. The Cartoon Movement was set up by Tjeerd Royaards, a Dutch editorial cartoonist.

Are you a business or a non-profit?
We're a registered business in the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. For an insight into our revenue model see our business pages. Through this venture we hope to demonstrate a financially sound model which will support editorial cartooning in the digital age.
