Irving news pulls breastfeeding cover, fires editor (CBC New Brunswick)

The Irving newspaper group has pulled the latest issue of Here magazine from store shelves and fired its editor after a photo of a breastfeeding baby appeared on its cover.

The photo is an extreme close-up of a tiny baby suckling at its mother's breast. The cover promoted a story about World Breastfeeding Week, which began Oct. 1. The story also highlighted the low rates of breastfeeding in New Brunswick.

Irving news executives replaced the photo with a cartoon drawing of a woman holding a baby in a blanket.
