Recap of Times-Picayune Hurricane Reporting
Newsday recaps how the New Orleans Times-Picayune kept getting out the paper, with a special emphasis on hurricane reporter Mark Schleifstein. The story says:
like the Cassandra of myth sounding her lonely, unheeded warning, he was right. Everyone heard him when he talked about the Big One and the 100,000 people too poor to leave the city, but no one really listened.
“Yeah, we were right, but what does that mean?” he said. “The part that everybody failed at was getting the people out.”
