Covering and Commenting on 9/11
September 11th, 2007
Six years is often a sidestepped anniversary. It’s not gold or silver or any other metallic element. But today, stories of September 11, 2001 are being repeated at workplaces, in homes and, certainly, on the blogs.
While some say it is time to move on and put aside the ceremonies, others have vehemently chastised the idea. On City Room, 116 readers have posted their thoughts here, and CNN.com has compiled emails here.
City Room has also posted personal accounts from reporters on 9/11, and Joyce Wadler, former Metro reporter turned Styles, has gotten considerable attention. Her minute-by-minute account has been called offensive and honest from readers in the city and around the world.
To The Post, moving on is winning the war against terror, while The News spreads out its opinion content on 9/11 with a piece on letting victims names be heard, a call to care for those sickened by working at Ground Zero and a plea to reopen the Statue of Liberty’s crown to visitors.
Straying from the traditional coverage of the anniversary of the attacks, The Times editorial page solicited works from five artists in remembrance of September 11, 2001.
