Today, much of the media is concentrating on September 11 coverage. On our local channels, there's extended TV coverage of memorial events in the city and WABC, WNBC and WCBS has taken over from the national broadcasts (NY1 has live audio and live video). MSNBC is repeating the Today Show from September 11, 2001. And the newspapers have a fair amount of coverage - the NY Times runs a banner headline and devote all of above-the-fold to September 11 (it's about 3/5th of the whole front page), the Daily News has a stark white-type-on-black background cover with the times when the planes hit the towers, and the Post has a photo of the Bushes at Ground Zero - and hey there's a $6 million Monopoly card game.
The NY Times also revisits some families in their Portraits of Grief section, which was heartbreaking reading in the days after September 11 and a separate section, "Broken Ground," about the rebuilding process at Ground Zero. On the NYTimes.com website's WTC topic section, you can read all the "Portraits of Grief" as well as see the online coverage for the September 11-21, 2001, plus September 11 in 2002, 2003, and 2004.
The Daily News's website has a 9/11: Five Years Later section full of articles, photo galleries and a special series on the "forgotten victims" - the responders affected by the toxic dust. amNew York's homepage has been scrolling the names of victims; the amny.com website has an extensive September 11 section. The Post's September 11 section has interactive elements.
And a quick roundup of coverage on TV news websites: Here are the sections from NBC and CBS - and ABC News has a piece on the Florida school kids who watched President Bush get the news about the attacks (here's the ABC News September section). And on CNN.com, you can rewatch footage from September 11, 2001.
