ABSTRACT
It was once said that journalism takes on its true colors when the world outside darkens, when prospects turn bleak and hope shrinks. It is no surprise, then, that the events of September 11 have already begun to recast expectations of journalism in the Western world. Shaken to their foundation have been familiar notions of what it means to be a journalist, how best to practice journalism, and what different publics can reasonably expect of journalists in the name of democracy.
