Coverage around the web on Sept. 11

New York Daily News As New York staggered back to its feet on Sept. 18 -- a week after the attacks -- the New York Daily News website led with President Bush's vow to get Osama bin Laden, dead or alive. A week earlier, Ethan Sacks of the Daily News was working the night of Sept. 11. He was scheduled to work earlier in the day, but, like many New Yorkers with loved ones in lower Manhattan, was waiting to hear from his wife, who worked in the south tower. She thankfully never made into the building. 'I was in charge that night on a three-person news shift on the website,' he said. 'We decided to do two “editions” online – one going live at 10 p.m. and one at 4 a.m., so that we could concentrate on really packaging the site well. After hours of feeling unable to help, it felt good at least to get the story out there, to feel like I was doing something, anything constructive on the darkest day in my hometown’s history.'

As New York staggered back to its feet on Sept. 18 -- a week after the attacks -- the New York Daily News website led with President Bush's vow to get Osama bin Laden, dead or alive.

A week earlier, Ethan Sacks of the Daily News was working the night of Sept. 11. He was scheduled to work earlier in the day, but, like many New Yorkers with loved ones in lower Manhattan, was waiting to hear from his wife, who worked in the south tower. She thankfully never made into the building.

"I was in charge that night on a three-person news shift on the website," he said. "We decided to do two “editions” online – one going live at 10 p.m. and one at 4 a.m., so that we could concentrate on really packaging the site well. After hours of feeling unable to help, it felt good at least to get the story out there, to feel like I was doing something, anything constructive on the darkest day in my hometown’s history."
