"Moments Frozen in Time. For each of us, there are occasions - a wedding, a child's birth, a family tragedy - so compelling that details are forever etched in memory. Few events define all of us. September 11, 2001 did. We all gaped, horrified, as the second passenger plane collided with the second tower. We all watched the wedge of destruction carved into the Pentagon. We all peered into the desolate crater on a field in Pennsylvania. We all looked eagertly for more ghosly survivors to trudge, holding one another, out of the concrete soot that clouded the remains of collapsed twin towers. Not since the assassination of John F. Kennedy has one event so transfixed a nation, a world. The Poynter Institute, a school that teaches skills and ethics to professional journalists in St. Petersburg, Florida, had no plan to memorialize these frozen moments in time. The school merely posted a notice on its website inviting news editors who design front pages to send us an electronic copy of how they told this urgent story. Within a day, hundreds of front pages were recorded on our website. And all over the world people were turning to the school as another place to connect themselves to the record of these terrible events, and thus to one another. Our computers nearly sank beneath the weight of witnesses to these ages. It was then that the school decided to publish representative front pages. We have three purposes: to provide a more permanent record as a memorial to the dead, the bereaved, the heroic; to take the occasion, as Max Frankel.does with unflinching insight, to remind Americans - especially media corporations - of the purpose of a free press; and to help provide funds for the victims." from the Preface by Andrew E. Barnes, Chairman, The Poynter Institute Godspeed to all those who perished. We shall never forget. - Vero Beach Books.
