David Shedden's Links to the News
column offers an extensive collection of 9/11 resources. Included is
the 9/11 Commission Report, print and broadcast/cable features of the
tragedy. Al Tompkins, author of Al's Morning Meeting and leader of Poynter's Broadcast and Online faculty, includes a wide range of resources in his columns on Friday and today. Previous articles by Al Tompkins include: - Links That Can Help Your Coverage. "Most Americans have never heard of it, but the National Disaster
Medical System will be critical to the care of the injured in the next
weeks. ..." (9/11/01)
- Guidelines for Use of Tragic File Tape. "Terrorists win when they scare their enemies into inaction or
overreaction. There is a danger that sustained airing of the most
graphic images of the last 24 hours may do just that. ..." (9/12/01)
- Telling Victims Stories. "The victims of Tuesday's terrorism have names and faces. Slowly, we are
learning the "who" behind the overwhelming images of disaster. ..." (9/13/01)
- Guidelines for Dealing With Families of Victims. "Clearly identify yourself as a journalist when dealing with grieving
families. Do not deceive to gain access. Do not offer favors or gifts
to families in order to gain access. ..." (9/13/01)
- Help for Journalists Under Stress. "Journalists from New York to the heart of America are trying to cope
with the trauma of the last week. ... Journalists' symptoms of traumatic stress are
remarkably similar to those of police officers and firefighters who
work in the immediate aftermath of tragedy, yet journalists typically
receive little support after they file their stories. ..." (9/14/01)
Leadership Topics
Additional articles by Jill Geisler: - Leadership Lessons from Sept. 11. "Keep in mind that on Sept. 11, every one of the news organizations
at the center of the story worked under a cloud of fear: Their own
buildings might be terrorist targets, their own staffers in the field
might be victims. They saw pictures too graphic to share, heard anguish
that language barely describes. ...
Through it all, staffers turned to their leaders for answers, ideas, energy, and comfort." (8/30/02)
- Culture Beyond the Crisis. "We often write about organizational culture, and the impact it has on
the quality of the the workplace and the work. In the wake of September
11, journalists told me stories of people working together unselfishly,
even heroically, across newsroom boundaries, titles and roles. ..." (9/1/05)
