All three newscasts assigned a correspondent to cover Christina Green's funeral. The girl was born on September 11th, 2001, "a day when America came together," as ABC's Dan Harris put it, tracing the days of her life as a "chart of the ups and downs of American civility." NBC's Lee Cowan stretched for a similar figure of speech, describing the girl as "an artist, an A student, a dancer, the only girl on her Little League baseball team, just elected to her student council, who never saw her 9/11 birthday as a grim day, but, as she told her mom, as a day to make a change." CBS' John Blackstone focused on the impact of this girl's death on the other grade-schoolers of Tucson. Meanwhile, NBC's Kate Snow looked for national lessons learned, as the Tucson shooting enters the curriculum of grade schools and high schools nationwide as a so-called teachable moment.
