It ranked among journalism's finest hours. That is what was heard
in the weeks following September 11, 2001. They made mistakes, of
course, but in covering one of the biggest disasters ever to hit
the United States, journalists used their training, their
experience, their understanding, and their sensitivity to provide
coverage that helped bring understanding and a sense of calm to the
chaos. Their performance did not end with reporting the immediate
impact of the catastrophe. They continued to analyze what happened,
the impact to property and human lives, the impact on government
and foreign relations. Lessons from Ground Zero's examines
journalism's efforts to cover a crisis, while analyzing journalism
itself. Many lessons were evident to journalists as they sought to
cope with the challenges of covering 9/11. The long-term question,
however, is whether the answers they found served as catalysts for
better journalism in the future, or whether they have been
forgotten, put into the closet of old memories with no noticeable
long-term impact. This book analyzes journalists' response to 9/11
through scholarly research and interviews with many of the
journalists who covered 9/11. Sometimes they do not agree, but all
are thoughtful and each adds to understanding. Public opinion polls
show clearly that citizens appreciated and responded to media
coverage. Given that this occurred in a time frame in which public
approval of American journalism had declined, it is reasonable to
ask what the media did that was different from their normal
practices. This book provides some of the answers.
