9/11 and the media

Hello Bloggers!

The events of 9/11 are of great interest to me and therefore I decided to do my dissertation on how Al-Jazeera and CNN analysed post 9/11 with reference to Arab and US cultural values.

I want to explore how different cultures interpret the media coverage on post 9/11 events. I think it's fascinating to investigate how these values are embedded in the media content.

Therefore, I wanted to ask you all, what are your thoughts on the 9/11 events? Do you believe in the conspiracy theories? Do your cultural values interfere in the way you interpret media content?
