It seems so long ago when this devastating tragedy occurred; September 11th 2001 was a day that many people remember. During the time of the chaos everything was quiet and I remember being alone just watching the news on the television as they passed the video of the planes crashing into the towers. After that it’s all a blur, to be honest I had not thought of that day until recently with all the reemergence of the footage and news coverage that the media has been showing. It wasn’t really relevant to me as I had forgotten, but leading up to the day of the anniversary I had some sentiment, just enough to show respect for the people that lost their loved ones that day and just that. It’s not so much a matter of what the buildings met for the country, but mostly because I know what it is to loose someone. It was a painful experience for America and hopefully it is one that does not repeat itself.



As for the changes in journalism after the terrorist attacks, things have become more available to the public with the current outburst of mass communication technologies. With IPhones, androids, computers, and Ipads people can now have quick access to the news. The networks of the media have expanded into everyone’s hand with a simple device allowing them to see instantly any breaking news that comes up. Along with that, many television networks now have social accounts on the internet such as Facebook, twitter, and many more websites that can be used to interact with their audience. Now people can be informed within seconds with one simple button on their mobile devices.
