How Newspapers Remembered 9/11 On Their Front Pages (Yahoo! News / The Cutline)
Like their magazine counterparts, virtually every American newspaper cover Sunday was dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. HuffPost: Some placed pictures of the burning buildings from 2001 on their front pages. Others featured images of the blue beams of light by which the towers are remembered every year. Still others reconstructed the towers out of text, or collages. FishbowlNY: The day featured the traditional reading of the victims' names, and six moments of silence marking the four plane crashes and when the Twin Towers collapsed. WCBS/Channel 2 remained on the air until the final name was read. Only then, at approximately 1:15 p.m., did Channel 2 join in progress National Football League action between the Ravens and Steelers. However, WNYW/Channel 5 did not follow the same plan. Business Insider / Silicon Alley Insider: Throughout the day, the Associated Press was on the story with frequent updates. What follows is a study in reporting under the direst of situations. Yahoo! News / The Cutline: Perhaps the most emotional responses to 9/11 in the days and weeks that followed came from two of television's most unlikely figures: David Letterman and Jon Stewart. Mashable: Thankfully, there are a few good Web archivists, such as The Wayback Machine, that do catalog websites from years gone by. Using that resource and others, we've cobbled together a gallery of Web pages from that horrible day. GigaOM: What strikes me every time I think about Sept. 11 is how much the media landscape -- particularly on the Web -- was transformed by those events, and how very different the world is now when it comes to how we experience real-time news. Forbes: The folks at Frank, a Norwegian communications agency, are demonstrating the power of social media storytelling using Mayor Rudy Giuliani's actual words expressed in the form of 140-character tweets. minOnline: As Americans pored through slideshows and image montages Sunday in memory of the fateful day in 2001, American Photo magazine wants us all to recall that cadres of professional photographers also ran with the heroes of the day to capture all of those moments. In a new free iPad app, the magazine, in partnership with Mag +, launched a commemorative app that focuses on the photojournalists who also ran towards the disaster. Business Insider / The Wire: If the attacks had never happened, here's what you would have been talking about on 9/11.

BostonGlobe.com Launches Monday; Shifts To Paying Subscribers Only Oct. 1 (paidContent)
One of the most unusual efforts to make money from a newspaper website launches Monday in Boston, slightly less than one year after plans were announced. Nieman Journalism Lab: Monday morning, The Boston Globe took the cloak off its brand-new website, BostonGlobe.com. And I really do mean "brand-new" -- this is no redesign. Nieman Journalism Lab: Can The Boston Globe cut Apple out of the action? The debut of the Globe's online subscription model represents an ambitious attempt to persuade people to pay for what they've grown accustomed to getting for free. Equally significant, though, is how the Globe intends to pursue that strategy. Rather than fork over 30 percent of its revenues for the privilege of being included in the iTunes Store, the Globe has found a way to route around the Cupertino toll booth altogether.

Campaign Trains Viewers For 'TV Everywhere' (NYT)
Putting in place TV Everywhere, a long-promised system for online television, calls for new contracts between channels and distributors, and for new technology to check that viewers have paid their cable bills. And it takes something else: training. Viewers, after all, are not accustomed to being able to go online and see a library's worth of television on-demand.
News Trends Tilt Toward Niche Sites (NYT)
It was a rough week for the big guys on the Web. Yahoo! unceremoniously dumped its chief executive, Carol Bartz, and AOL faced a mutiny from TechCrunch, the Silicon Valley news site it bought last year. Apart from the specific business issues feeding those travails -- sinking traffic and profits at both -- they provided yet another lesson of the Internet age: As news surges on the Web, giant ocean liners like AOL and Yahoo! are being outmaneuvered by the speedboats zipping around them, relatively small sites that have passionate audiences and sharply focused information.

HuffPost And Patch Recruiting Bloggers As Young As 13 (
Forbes)
The Huffington Post's best response to those critics who accuse it of exploiting writers by not paying them has always been the libertarian one: Within the boundaries of the law, consenting adults are free to enter into whatever sorts of arrangements they choose, even one that involves donating their labor to a for-profit corporation. But what about when those writers aren't adults?
