We knew life in America would never be the same after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, but no one knew exactly how it would change. How has our society and country come to terms since then? Public radio tackles this question with Understanding America after 9/11, a week of special coverage on stations nationwide. This coverage begins on Tuesday, September 3, and continues through Tuesday, September 10, 2002. Participating public radio stations are weaving stories from communities around the country with their own local stories, talk shows, documentaries, and call-in programs focusing on the impact of September 11. With public radio stations working together, along with the BBC, PRI, and NPR, we’re hoping to spark conversations around your kitchen table and thousands of others across the country. This first-ever grassroots collaboration among stations is about building a unique national conversation from the ground up. |
