The terrorist attacks on September 11th were unique and
unprecedented in many ways, but the day will stand in our memories
particularly because of our ability to watch the spectacle unfold.
The blazing towers crumbling into dust, black smoke rising from the
Pentagon, the unrecognizable remains of a fourth airplane in a
quiet Pennsylvania field--these images, while disturbing and
surreal, provide an important vehicle for interdisciplinary
dialogue within media studies, showing us how horrific national
disasters are depicted in various media. Each contributor to this
volume offers a fresh, engaging perspective on how the media
transformed the 9/11 crisis into an ideological tour de force,
examining why certain readings of these events were preferred, and
discussing the significance of those preferred meanings. Yet the
contributors do not limit themselves to such standard news mediums
such as newspapers and television. This anthology also covers comic
books, songs, advertising, Web sites, and other non-traditional
media outlets. Using a wide range of interdisciplinary approaches,
contributors explore such topics as the amount of time dedicated to
coverage, how the attacks were presented in the United States and
abroad, how conflicting viewpoints were addressed, and how various
artistic outlets dealt with the tragedy. Offering a unique approach
to a topic of enduring interest and importance, this volume casts a
new light on considerations of that day.
