Media Slogans
Various slogans and captions were employed by media outlets to brand coverage of the September 11th terrorist attack, its after effects, and the U.S. government response. The slogans for American media were typically positioned on the bottom third of television broadcasts, or as banners across the top of newspaper pages. Designs typically incorporated a patriotic red, white, and blue motif, along with an explicit graphic of the American flag. Examples include:
- "America Attacked", "A Nation United" (ABC)
- "Attack on America" (NBC)
- "A Nation Challenged", "Day of Terror", "Portraits of Grief" (The New York Times)
- "America's New War", "War Against Terror", "America under Attack" (CNN)
- "War on Terror" (Fox News)
- "America on Alert", "America under Attack" (MSNBC)
- "The Second Pearl Harbor" (Honolulu Advertiser)

Famous quotes containing the words media and/or slogans:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
“The art of the critic in a nutshell: to coin slogans without betraying ideas. The slogans of an inadequate criticism peddle ideas to fashion.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
