Introduction to re:constructions

Thank you for spending time with re:constructions. Our goals, as described in greater detail in our introduction, are to

  1. Raise awareness of the role of media during global crisis, and
  2. Provide educational resources for teachers and parents.

We do not intend the site to become a forum for political or ideological debate, although we strive to present a variety of viewpoints to help inform conversations here and elsewhere. If you have a specific idea for contribution, please send your articles, images, hyperlinks or URLs for audio/video content to reconstructions@mit.edu and we'll notify you if we plan to publish and/or link your thoughts. The re:constructions editorial board reserves the right to edit and choose the material posted to this site.

Write a letter

If you're interested in sending a note or card of thanks to the NYC firefighters, the address is:

Uniformed Firefighters Association
204 East 23rd Street
New York, New York 10010

Volunteers from the General Theological Seminary in New York City have been working alongside firefighters, dispensing food, water, counseling, etc. to the firefighters since last week. They report that those working at Ground Zero are getting increasingly desperate and that very deep despair is beginning to take its toll. We understand that during off hours, many workers are reading letters coming in from all over the world to keep their spirits going.
