E&P: Former 'Times-Pic' Staffers Have Raised Over $20,000 for Paper's Employees

"A fund set up to raise money for staffers at The Times-Picayune in New Orleans has brought in $22,000 in donations in just two weeks, according to organizers. The effort, aimed at raising money for employees of the paper who have been severely impacted by Hurricane Katrina, is being run by a group of former Times-Picayune employees. "

According to Friends of the Times-Picayune, "As many as half of New Orleans Times-Picayune staffers - from senior editors to receptionists and printers - and their families apparently lost their homes in the horrible aftermath of Hurricane Katrina." The site has account numbers, address and a Pay Pal link for online donations.
