Scott Keir Anderson (born December 31, 1963) is a Canadian newspaper editor and journalist.
[1] Anderson is currently the senior vice-president of content for Postmedia Network Inc.[1] In 2006, Anderson was among the group of Canadian newspaper editors that chose not to publish cartoons depicting Muhammad during the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy.
He received criticism for this decision, notably from Ezra Levant, publisher of the Western Standard, who claimed that other editors should not be afraid to use their freedom of expression.
Anderson replied that "not publishing [the cartoons] is also an expression of freedom".
He worked from the late 1980s to the present on various newspapers around Canada.
