The impact of the tragedy resulted in great efforts by labor unions, the New York state legislature and various New York City departments to address the causes and failures that allowed the deaths to occur. (Shepherd) The workers had been subjected to low wages, long hours and, when the fire erupted, an inability to escape since the owners had only one exit door unlocked

However, when the word came through that they were to evacuate the second tower, people who were in the building scrambled for safety, and as a result, the stairwells as well as the elevators were jammed beyond their capacity, and only a few people managed to get out and run, 'like there was no tomorrow'. (11 September, Key Reports and Video) When they were out on the street and thanking God for saving them, they happened to witness the second aircraft that was flying right into the second tower, from which this witness had just escaped
, the world's second-largest media conglomerate, found himself in the midst of a controversy stemming from a phone-hacking scandal perpetrated by several reporters from his now-defunct New of the World tabloid. On July 19, 2011, before a group of British lawmakers, looking dejected and frail, the media icon confessed that his organization "had broken our trust with our readers" (Chu 2011) Whether or not Murdoch was genuinely sorry for the nefarious activity his reporters engaged in or just sorry they got caught can be debated, but what can't be debated is his successful way of dealing with exposed corruption within the ranks

Thus, on one hand, in the popular press, photographs have become increasingly mistrusted, as they are more obviously manipulated and subject to technological whims and cuts. (Becker, 1992) Yet photography has also increased in prestige and importance in selling newspapers, tabloid and non-tabloid, as the tendency to visualize an article's storyline is more and more important in the mainstream media of television
As Gist (2012) puts it, "An unprecedented level of media coverage made the Vietnam war a watershed moment in the discipline of photography." "The use of photographs to record or suppress events, or to support or contest a claim, is nothing new, but in Vietnam the unprecedented degree of coverage of this politically divisive war brought these issues into sharp relief," (Gist, 2012)
Americans watched as their soldiers set fire to thatched huts with Zippo lighters. They saw photographs of wounded and dead GIs as well as the bodies of Vietnamese civilians and opponents," (Hubert Cookman & Stolley, 2008, p

These sub-branches of new journalism are integrated by Sacco in his comic and dramatic literature Palestine. New journalism writing technique encourages a journalist's or reporter's opinions, ideas as well as involvement to sneak into the story though the characters take a greater share in the story (Flippen)
Sacco gives his readers a glimpse into the ordinary cultural rituals of the Palestinians, slaughtering of bulls for eating, congregating in mosques for prayers and other illicit behaviors among men and women. Sacco's work is riddled with similar asides that remind the reader that the story they read is being framed and filtered through Sacco's eyes and those of his translator, a nod to subjectivity and a challenge to the journalistic ideal of objectivity (Hollowell)
Sacco's Rejection of Objective Reporting Objective reporting is untruthful and is difficult and impossible to apply in practice. According to Mindich, objectivity is lukewarm and biased making individuals' passive recipients of news (Mindich)
The man Sacco meets in Hebron witnessed a violent interaction between Palestinians and Jewish settlers and tells Sacco that, "[The Jewish settlers] attacked homes and caused damage….The people wounded [the Arabs] were passing by, not the ones throwing the stones" (Sacco, p

Her book Cristina! My Life as a Blonde is out in Spanish and English. And she runs a foundation, Arriba la Vida/Up with Life, which aims to educate Hispanics about HIV (Dequine, 2005)
The public is much more likely to comment on any reporting that is clearly driven by ulterior motives; there is very little tolerance for pandering and being blatant in ones' writing or reporting, as the entire world can literally call a journalist on their integrity if it appears they are only saying what their sponsors want them to (Bernoff, Li, 2008). In this way, social networks have created a highly effective framework for ensuring the originality and independence of news Unoriginal and sponsored news is continually being produced, and the skeptical would say even more given the prevalence of social media channels (Adee, 2008)
And while bloggers have also been accused to being influenced by economic and political forces extensively in their reporting, the Internet in general and social media specifically creates a highly effective sounding board of dissenting voices and opinions. The public is much more likely to comment on any reporting that is clearly driven by ulterior motives; there is very little tolerance for pandering and being blatant in ones' writing or reporting, as the entire world can literally call a journalist on their integrity if it appears they are only saying what their sponsors want them to (Bernoff, Li, 2008)
