CBS News 
Boston Marathon Bombings
CBS News coverage of the Boston marathon bombings was distinguished by its calm but informative approach to an unfolding terrorist attack. CBS News broadcast the first video of the aftermath of the first explosion at the finish line. It was a frantic and scary scene, however, the tone of the coverage—set by anchor Scott Pelley--was measured and careful. As the dragnet on the suspects closed in, CBS was on the air with continuous coverage during the massive manhunt for the suspects, and for the capture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
