The Louisianna Weekly: "Black general takes charge in New Orleans." "Undocumented won't be allowed to receive help from FEMA." "1,700 Koreans in New Orleans yet to be located." With passion and pride, ethnic news organizations in the United States are sending reporters, photographers and TV crews to the disaster area and covering the Hurricane Katrina story from angles not seen in many of the nation's major metropolitan newspapers. At times, the ethnic media have been more opinionated and outspoken, and in many cases have taken a more activist approach than mainstream news organizations and tried to help members of their ethnic groups who have suffered from the storm.
Newspapers throughout the state of Louisiana are invited to use this blog as a means of telling others what they are doing, and sharing their reporting with those following the aftermath of Katrina.[Disclaimer: The Louisiana Press Association exercises no control over what is said here.]
