Copresented by The Paley Center for Media, NY1, and Tribute WTC, this public event commemorating the tenth anniversary of 9/11 will feature remembrances and insights from the men and women who covered perhaps the most harrowing event in New York history for the city’s quintessential journalistic outlet, NY1. The NY1 team will not only reflect on the logistical, emotional, and professional challenges they confronted on that day and in the days after, but also discuss how their professional lives and indeed their entire profession changed as a result of these events.

The panel will also tackle the wider issues of what role the media played as events unfolded, and also in the ensuing days, weeks, and months. We will explore the vast changes in media production and consumption over the past ten years, and all the ramifications these changes would have on coverage of a similar emergency today.
