Difficult calls
Cedar Rapids/Iowa City Gazette weekly column, “On Topic,” from 08-31-14
Thirteen years ago, we worked our way through the same contentious debate in newsrooms of newspapers, magazines, TV stations and websites across this business of journalism.
On Sept. 11, 2001, and on the days that followed — even though we, too, wanted to share our outrage and declare sides, we wanted to hunt down every scrap of information, we wanted to debate the bigger picture of global consequences — news editors, art directors and photo chiefs talked about how to best present what we were learning.
We argued a lot about one photo in particular. You’ll remember it: a man plummeting from the World Trade Center’s north tower.
