In its latest time capsule of 9/11 television coverage, all major U.S. networks, such as ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC, as well as online television recordings from Moscow, Paris, London, Baghdad, Tokyo, and Ottawa are available for viewing.

"Television is our pre-eminent medium of information, entertainment and persuasion, but until now it has not been a medium of record," The Internet Archive said in a statement. "This Archive attempts to address this gap by making TV news coverage of this critical week in September 2001 available to those studying these events and their treatment in the media."

The archive includes written perspectives on the 9/11 coverage by scholars, such as Pat Aufderheide, a professor at the Center of Social Media at American University, and William Uricchio, director of the MIT Comparative Media Studies Program and professor of Comparative Media History.

"The pain of losing loved ones remains a trauma that few of us will escape. But the vicious and arbitrary way that so many died in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania is horrifying in a very different way. Carried by a medium so often filled with simulated images of death and destruction, horror of this magnitude easily reads as spectacle," Uriccho wrote in .

"Flattened on the small screen and consumed in our livingrooms far from the sounds, smells and dust of lower Manhattan, the images seem fantastic, even surreal."
