The horrors of September 11, 2001 and the reality of the people who were killed was just visually presented in class.
September 11 was a tragic day in America's history that affected our emotions, our sympathies, and our fears. Seeing the damage of the World Trade Center visually was a huge reminder of the tragedy that stuck almost 10 years ago.
Journalism is what presented those haunting images and video and journalism is what told the world exactly what was going and what people need to know about the World Trade center catastrophe. It think that journalism is so crucial to our lives in America, and even to everyone's lives around the world because not only does it bring the truth and the realities of what is going on in the world, but it is able to affect our emotions and motivate us toward a better society. Seeing the 9-11 incidents over again ignited my patriotism, and I think that is a huge part of what journalism can do. Journalism matters because not only do we need to know the facts about the tragedies going on around us, but we also need to know how they affect us. 2,752 people died that day and those people were our brothers, our sisters, our parents, and our spouses. They were our friends, our coworkers, and our fellow Americans. That disaster is not something to be ignored and journalism brought us the facts and emotions of that event that will be remembered forever in America's history.
