There's a pretty good look at how the Media covered the STS-107
accident at -

At least CNN was covering the reentry, unlike the other networks. I
remember getting up that morning and surfing through all of the news
channels to try to find out what was happening and CNN had some updates
about Columbia's progress.

Amazing how quickly all of the other networks started covering the
story after it was clear that an accident had happened.
