71% Informative

Bob Edwards , the host of NPR 's Morning Edition , was taking his first puffs on a Benson & Hedges cigarette on September 11, 2001 .

The show's creator Jay Kernis , the show’s creator, had returned to NPR as senior vice president of programming.

The network was not designed to handle breaking news.

NPR 's Morning Edition had failed to respond to the biggest story of the new millennium .

After Kasell signed off, NPR opened the nine o’clock hour of its 911 broadcast day by doing what it did any other day .

No one uttered a word about two planes slamming into New York’s twin towers.

Bob Greene : Morning Edition's special coverage was the result of the anonymous, unglamorous digging by its inside staffers.

He says the show's producers and editors had been poring over maps of Lower Manhattan and New York telephone directories, trying to match addresses near the World Trade Center with the numbers of people who lived there.

Greene: The show’s director instructed host Bob Edwards to question NPR correspondent John Gjelten about the crash.
