Welcome or welcome back to a brand-new season of Inside the Box! This week join Jonathan and Steve as we commemorate the 9/11 terrorist attacks by speaking with Dr. Paul Arras (SUNY: Cortland) about his new book, American Television’s Live Coverage of the 9/11 Attacks: Journalism on the Screen (Rowman & Littlefield). For those too young to have lived through that day, learn about what we actually thought and knew within those crucial first hours. If you did live through it – and feel safe enough to think through it – be reminded about a media ecosystem so very different than the one we’re living in today.
