September 11th 2001 marked one of the most important events in history. The scope of human suffering it caused, both from the attack itself, and the two following wars, is nearly inconceivable, but unfortunately not unique. What truly cemented it in history was that it was the first major disaster to play out live on TV in-front of Billions of people. Now, nearly two decades later, the presence of news media has only grown and anything and everything can be reported in minutes, if not seconds. It's easy to take this stream of information for granted, but it doesn't appear out of thin air. Everything must be synthesized by journalists, editors, producers, and so on, but unlike the audience, they can't just turn the TV off when the news becomes too much. 

I am very vocal about the fact that the 2014 Godzilla is my favorite film. While I could list hundreds of things that I love about it, my absolute favorite aspect of it is the use of news media. Through fleeting images on TVs in the background, the audience is able to not just grasp the scale of the disaster, but feel like they too are part of that world. My intent for this piece was to show just part of that world, a photo inside a newsroom during the biggest event in history.
