TIME's Multimedia 9/11 Special: In Print, Digital, and TV

TIME magazine, like many others, has a special issue focusing on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 this week. More than any other magazine, though, TIME has dedicated not just the issue, but a special version of their iPad app, documentaries airing on HBO, CNN and other stations, and a hardcover book comprised of the interviews and photographs featured in the issue. From Editor Richard Stengel's letter opening the issue:
