9/11 As Both A Personal And TV Event

As the 10th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, we're going to be hearing lots of personal remembrances, and here's one of the best so far: Multichannel News editor, former Wall Street Journal reporter and our fellow Brooklynite Mark Robichaux blogs about how office papers from the World Trade Center rained down on his neighborhood, how he had spent every morning for ten years buying bagel and coffee from the same lady at the same coffee shop in 2 WTC, and how touched he was by TV images of the first responders, the survivors, the families of victims, the heroes.

It's all an introduction to the current issue of Multichannel highlighting cable's commemoration of the tragedy's 10th anniversary. "What more appropriate screen to reconnect to our collective loss?" Robichaux asks. "Images of that day were viewed for the first time on TV -- not an iPad, or a BlackBerry or a cell phone."
