9/11 Remembered

I'd just like to go on record saying that I thought the daytime coverage by ITN news of the September 11th anniversary was stunning. In no way was it sensationalist, in no way did they revel in gory details, in no way did they gleefully overuse words like "carnage" and "massacre" and in no way did they flippantly cover the aftermath in the style of the Day Today. I thought their glorious close-ups of grieving children waving aloft pictures of lost parents was wonderfully subtle and not at all exploitative, and their interviews with family members did not patronise a single sole.

In short, bravo to our broadcaster of choice for a sensitive, balanced and entirely appropriate news item. It is nice to know that we can rely on your entirely professional broadcasts no matter what the news story, and at the same time be thankful that you will never explore a single subject that we, the audience, may find confusing or goes against the status-quo.

You're a credit to your profession.
