The Associated Press, the New York Times, CNN and NBC have declined to publish similar images. What's the relationship between journalism and satire? Do journalists need to take risks in support of satire?

As the 70,000-seat stadium site takes shape, the city around it is anticipating big changes -- some welcome and some worrisome.
