9/11 Memorial & Museum Journalist Talk

Covering Catastrophe: Reporting on 9/11

On 9/11, local journalists suddenly found themselves on the front lines, covering a catastrophe with global and historical significance. NY1 anchor Kristen Shaughnessy, New York Times correspondent and CNN analyst Maggie Haberman, and Associated Press reporter Deepti Hajela discuss the challenges of reporting on the 2001 attacks and how 9/11 changed the way events linked to terror are reported.

Financial District

I'd never managed to visit the World Trade Center Oculus, and have seen so many thousands of instagram photos that I thought I knew the space. It is much much much more impressive in real life than any photo can do it justice.
