Already, the news media is running stories about that horrible day.
The first one I saw was a piece about how the Associated Press photographers made it through that incredibly traumatic assignment, how they put aside their emotions to do the job at hand and cover the news before breaking down.
The story was good, the accompanying photographs were not.
The images were painful reminders of the tremendous loss of innocent lives.
I am sure that on Sept. 11, 2011 we will be inundated with powerful photos and videos from that day.
I am just happy that I am where I am and won't have to endure too much of that.
The anniversary of the terror attacks is newsworthy and if I was in my old capacity as news editor of a daily newspaper, I would be pushing my staff for stories with a local perspective from that day.
But, I would also lobby hard to not run the disturbing images.
They are too painful, too powerful, too emotional. There are family members, friends who carry around enough reminders of that day
