The PR Week: 9.8.2021: Josh Cherwin, National September 11 Memorial & Museum
Cherwin talks about how the organization prepared for the 20th anniversary of 9/11, its social activations and communication strategies around the milestone year and more.

Strength through adversity
So many things have fundamentally changed in the past two decades since 9/11, but the most important thing is for us to remember those who perished and make sure we all honor their memory with a renewed spirit of togetherness.

9/11: 'We kept going and did our jobs'
PRWeek's former editor-in-chief Jonah Bloom had only been in post a few weeks at the time of the World Trade Center terror attacks. He describes how the team rallied around, did its duty and got a magazine out in service of the PR community.

Powerful stories amid tragedy
PRWeek’s Gideon Fidelzeid had been in his job as copy editor just six months when 9/11 happened. He was part of a team that pivoted quickly to produce a magazine that represented a professional triumph in unprecedented circumstances.

Never forget
Like thousands of New York-based workers, the employees of Haymarket Media, PRWeek's owner, were getting ready to start a normal working day on September 11, 2001. Two decades on, they reflect on the tragic events of that day and how it changed their lives.
