As the streets south of MediaChannel's Times Square offices are
full of dust and debris, with silence broken by sirens, we
present a special edition focused on the media's response to
yesterday's attacks on New York and Washington, D.C..

The media have become our emergency systems, warning us of
evacuations and blood drives -- and also the focus of our
collective consciousness as we strain to make sense of
what happened, how to process it and what will follow.

MediaChannel affiliates around the world are looking at how
the media have handled this crisis, what are their responsibilities,
their successes, their lessons and failures. News Dissector Danny
Schechter offers his take on the coverage and invites yours.
