I see three comments saying it was there before 9/11, but really, the fear dial was amped to 11 then. It was a milestone in that sense. Furthermore, journalism changed dramatically. Instead of more open ended questions, especially TV interviews started treating guests like enemies for example “Why didn’t you do X?” to a guest, instead of saying “Can you tell us what you did?”
Also more subtle changes in how media reports things in general. I haven’t seen a study on this, but it would be an interesting subject.

- mbg721 4y agoI'd place the journalism shark-jump more at the OJ trial than at 9/11.
- prox 4y agoYeah, I place that in the same time frame. It was a warm up for what was to come.
