When we watch or read the news we pay most, if not all, of our attention to the message that is being conveyed. We focus on the story that is being narrated and how it may or not affect our lives. There are stories that touch us very deeply and that have an incredible impact in our lives. Without a doubt the news about 9/11 touched millions and millions of hearts around the world and radically changed the lives of a lot of people. However, not often we stop and think of the messengers that delivered the terrible news to us.
“It has changed me completely," Pitts says. "I'm a much more sober person, father, husband, and journalist than I was. I don't think I'm morbid at all. I've worked to value my family and friends more. We can't end a conversation without saying I love you” Said CBS correspondent Byron Pitts.
Getting the personal perspective from all reporters who were there when it all happened is very important; after all they are, as well, survivors. Just like the firefighters, reporters had the responsibility to put their lives in danger in order to deliver their community with the important service of information.
