MFI — Media Support

Who is there to help the media?

The victims have many support teams who offer assistance, food, counseling, housing and encouragement.

The media are often seen as fixtures, as non-entities, even though behind the lens of their camera, the tears flow.

The MFI Media Support Center exists to offer hospitality and a hand of friendship to the news crews. The Support Team, media professionals themselves, is on location with them, helping them cope with the emotional and physical challenges.

The news media are always the outsiders, perceived as the antagonists, not trusted, considered as invaders into the privacy of the situation. They work under difficult circumstances. They are the first to the scene, the closest to the event – hearing the details of sorrow and anguish – feeling the emotion, fear and discomfort – yet, trying to remain professionally objective and coherent in spite of appalling trauma and disaster.

September 11 - The Day America Changed

On September 11th the unbelievable happened. Horrific Terror crushed the lives of thousands …thousands more stood in its wake in disbelief. Life as we know it was forever changed in the United States of America.

In the face of immense loss of life and damage to our way of life, Americans have shown great courage and brotherly compassion.

We must not give up nor give in. The message broadcast by the Media must remain positive and supportive of our country and leaders. God Bless America.

At Ground Zero, the enormity of it all is taking its tumultuous toll on all those involved.

The heroic firefighters, police and rescue workers are grim in their unrelenting pursuit. Shock and grief line their faces as masks try to lessen the stench of death all around them.

There is another group however, in the trenches as well, but often overlooked. The “Media” – the news crews, cameramen, reporters, anchors, technicians- are people too. Their job is to gather the facts of the incident and report the news quickly, fairly and completely to the waiting world.
