Charlie Hebdo’s Owners Won’t Keep Newspaper’s Profits This Year

PARIS—Charlie Hebdo’s owners plan to reinvest the bulk of profit in the French satirical newspaper, seeking to defuse a conflict that emerged after the terrorist attack that decimated its newsroom in January.   Laurent Sourisseau, the magazine’s chief editor and one of only two surviving shareholders, said all of the 2015 profit will be plowed back into the firm. The company will also change its status to one committed to reinvesting at least 70% of profit on a continuing basis, he said.
