Summary

Women Journalists at Ground Zero tells the rich and moving stories of 24 journalists who reported live from New York City, Washington, D.C., and the Pittsburgh area during and following the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Recounting their professional and personal experiences in reporting a disaster of great magnitude, women such as ABC's Cynthia McFadden and Ann Compton, CNN's Judy Woodruff, NBC's Rehema Ellis, and many other television, radio, newspaper, magazine, and photojournalists show us how the news happened and what it takes to cover crisis.
