U.S. media screams while BBC soothes

baltimoresun.com: TV coverage is a study in contrasts:

"The tonality, rhythm and psychology of BBC coverage of the bombings - very low-key, very measured, with no calls for revenge or emotional response - is not an accident," said Greg Nielsen, director of the BBC World Archive at Concordia University in Montreal.

"It goes back to the days of the Second World War when the BBC World Radio reports were such a key source of information for the Allied forces and the world. There's a certain attitude and quite different history from commercial broadcasters both in America and Britain that results in higher standards - a keen sense of duty in time of crisis."
