N2 - This study employed a content analysis to examine the visual coverage of the September 11th attacks through images submitted to Pictures of the Year International. This study classified the 667 images into four main themes: events, aftermath, firefighters, and the Muslim world. In an attempt to determine how the September 11th terrorists' attack was framed by photojournalists, this study revealed that most of the images framed strong pro-American perspectives by showing a challenged America and a nation united through patriotism while only limited images introduced different anti-American perspectives.
