About

“I think before 9/11 we all thought in an abstract idea about attack and about vulnerability, and for the first time, Americans felt very vulnerable. For the first time reporters felt like we had to keep asking and pressing and that we had a responsibility that was larger than just being a reporter and getting the answer.” - Gwen Ifill, Journalist
