Media Makes Some 9/11 Blunders

Yesterday, 9/11, was a day for remembering -- and sometimes blundering with media messages. For example, Esquire's website had perhaps the worst mixup, wrongly headlining a photo of a tragic scene from that day in 2001.

Lots of companies tried to send 9/11 memorial messages via Twitter. "General response to these messages is mixed: some see co-opting 9/11 as the epitome of tastelessness while others note that none of these messages, with... [some exceptions], are directly selling any particular product," writes Patrick Coffee.
