Looking Back at NPR's Coverage
With news reports, essays and images, NPR covered the events of Sept. 11 and the weeks after. Our radio archive includes live reports, background stories and reflections by our correspondents. As Alex Chadwick observed in an essay, "Wherever you are waking up this morning, you're in a different country, in a different time."

The following is an audio archive of that coverage through Sept. 20, indexed by show with the most recent audio listed first.
