September 11, 2001 Information Cycle

An event occurs precipitating a dynamic process of information creation and publication. From the first accounts of breaking news to coverage in textbooks decades later, information is created and distributed in a general pattern called an information cycle.

On a clear September morning in 2001 four planes were hijacked, two crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, one hit the Pentagon in Washington, DC and the fourth plowed into a field in Pennsylvania. From this tragedy an information cycle was born.

This exhibit displays the types of information created over the last five years dealing with the events of September 11th. This bibliography lists the sources included in the display.
