Although TV coverage of the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks
included some discussion of reporters' firsthand memories of the events and
interviews with survivors, rescue workers and officials, most networks let the
images from the commemorations speak for themselves, critic Alessandra Stanley
writes. "[I]n contrast to most live events, the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 was
handled with as much deference and caution as the first," she writes.
TV news rises to occasion to mark Sept. 11 anniversary:
The networks did themselves proud in their coverage marking the 10th anniversary
of the Sept. 11 attacks, John Eggerton writes. "The coverage I saw managed to
capture the general and specific of the tragedy, tastefully, extensively, and
yes, beautifully," he writes.
