Media soothe Americans in time of tragedy.(Chicago Tribune)
Byline: Steve Johnson
More than just an information source, television and radio in the face of Saturday's tragedy became the site of a national wake.
As the broadcast media shifted into now-familiar blanket coverage mode to bring the Columbia breakup to a large weekend audience, news anchors, reporters, experts and eyewitnesses all strove to find soothing words for an event both shocking and also tinged with nostalgia.
"There has been a loss in the American family," said Scott Simon on National Public Radio.
"These are heroes," stated Dan Rather on CBS, provider of the most openly elegiac coverage.
"You have a certain prayerful awe because this is something too terrible to comprehend, and yet the pictures don't lie," said Tony Snow on Fox News Channel.
Yet the shuttle disaster and death of seven crew members was an occurrence outside of national concerns over war and terrorism, and also a jolting reminder of an era when space travel was not taken for granted.
