Shocked is a word I heard a lot on Wednesday after the world found out Steve Jobs had died. This was one of those "where were you when you found out?" deaths for many people, especially those of the younger generations. Even ESPN.com had an article on its homepage announcing his death. CNN.com dedicated the rest of its night to not only the death of Steve Jobs, but the life and legacy of the Apple co-founder.
CNN.com quickly had a video posted on its website highlighting some of Jobs' bigger Apple product introductions, such as the Macintosh, the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad2. The site also had several other videos and links to articles at the top of its homepage in a "Steve Jobs box" of sorts. The coverage of Jobs' death overshadowed the wall street protests that had previously headlined the homepage, and Sarah Palin's announcement that she will not be running for president in 2012, a piece of news that might otherwise have demanded the spotlight.
CNN.com also had a heavy focus on opinion pieces, all of them positive outlook on Jobs, such as this one on how he gave writers freedom of font.
Articles could be found under several CNN.com tabs as well, such as CNN Tech. CNNMoney had an article on "10 ways Steve Jobs has changed the world," highlighting some of Apple's best-selling products. CNN also highlighed the global impact of Jobs and his death, sharing an article on reactions in China.
When someone visists an article on Jobs, for now at least, on the right hand side next to the article, a long list of other articles on Jobs can still be found, such as with this article on Jobs' true impact on the tech world.
While CNN.com's site dedicated most of its homepage to Steve Jobs on Wednesday night and Thursday, by Friday, he had all but disappeared. CNN.com had shifted its coverage of Jobs to its "Tech" tab. As late as Saturday, almost a dozen of the top articles on CNN.com/tech had to do with Jobs, and others with Apple and its new iPhone. The Tech page still had stories on Job's private funeral and cause of death Tuesday, six days after his death.
CNN.com certainly dedicated resources and space to covering Jobs' death and reviewing his life and accomplishments. However, it was quickly replaced by other news, and an article that put a nice close to the coverage has yet to appear.
