I also wish to thank my family for supporting me and never letting me down. During my stay in New Orleans I received a lot of support and help from different institutions. I would like to thank the Earl K. Long Library at the University of New Orleans and their extensive collections of books on Hurricane Katrina. Moreover, I owe a thousand thanks to the local television station WWL-TV in New Orleans. Without their help I would have never been able to analyze original footage of Hurricane Katrina and hence compose my thesis the way I did. Additionally, Grace Beatty, who took the time to proofread and edit my paper, deserves many of my thanks. Last but not least, I would like to thank my professor, Dr. Thomas Schröder, for his constant support and advice.

INTRODUCTION Hurricane Katrina was one of the most destructive natural disasters New Orleans has ever experienced. Large parts of the city were completely destroyed and many people died during and after the breach of the levees. When natural catastrophes such as a hurricane occur, the media are never far away. Covering natural disasters confronts journalists with various problems in areas such as media ethics and quality of journalism. Furthermore, the situation gets even more complicated when the journalists covering a catastrophe are not only journalists sent to a specific place but are also local people affected by the hurricane. This is because they do not only have to cover the hurricane, they are also personally involved. This paper aims to answer questions that have arisen out of the problems mentioned above as well as considering how these issues influenced the coverage of Hurricane Katrina back in 2005 and what qualified the coverage of a local news station in terms of language, images and their relationship. In order to achieve this, it is instrumental to take a look at the chronology of Hurricane Katrina first. Moreover, the hurricane protection system in Louisiana will be taken into consideration since it helps explain the reasons why the levees breached. Once the basic understanding of the development of Hurricane Katrina and the levee system has been established, it is important to examine one of the key issues that journalists are confronted with when covering a natural disaster: media ethics. Media ethics includes issues such as objectivity, preserving human dignity, deciding what to publish and how journalists understand their own profession. This also includes the role of the media in terms of framing disasters and the responsibilities the media have when they cover natural disasters. 6 For this paper on the news coverage of Hurricane Katrina I analyze the original footage of 2005 from the local station WWL-TV1 in New Orleans. The corpus of this analysis consists of footage from the first five days after Hurricane Katrina made landfall. From each day two hours of material will be analyzed, which adds up to about 600 minutes of footage. While watching the material a list of questions concerning the content, the language and the images will be used to enable a thorough analysis. Since WWL-TV is a local station that was affected by Katrina directly, the journalists working for this station did not only have to deal with general problems concerning media ethics; these people were personally involved and therefore their coverage was also influenced. The analysis focuses on the news language, the images shown and issues such as the portrayal of race and crime. In terms of language, one has to consider the use of language. Is language used to dramatize, emotionalize or personalize the coverage? What are the consequences of this kind of coverage? Images can also be used to influence people’s perception of what they see on television and the portrayal of people affected by the hurricane can also affect the viewer’s understanding and perception of the event. For this analysis it is instrumental to include the fact that this is a local news station and therefore its coverage varies from the coverage of national television stations since their focus is different. 1 http://www.wwltv.com/ 7 2. HURRICANE KATRINA – FACTS AND FIGURES 2.1 HURRICANE PROTECTION SYSTEMS IN NEW ORLEANS In order to understand what would cause the levees to breach and the city of New Orleans to be flooded one has to take a look at the hurricane protection system that was supposed to protect the city from the effects of hurricanes

    IAVA Recipient: Secretary Mattis Letter: Greetings, First, thank you for your service and sacrifice and for your incredible leadership that so many in the military and veteran community have experienced and respect. As you know, more than 1.5 million veterans have have educated themselves with the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and almost 70% of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) members have used or transferred this benefit to a dependent. It could very well be the most transformative federal benefit created. The new restriction on Post-9/11 GI Bill transferability to only those with less than 16 years of service is a completely unnecessary reduction of this critical benefit, and it will ultimately hurt our military recruitment and readiness. In a time of war, it remains enormously important to recruit and retain qualified servicemembers, especially with an ever-decreasing pool of eligible recruits. For years, IAVA has been at the forefront of this fight. We led the effort to establish this benefit in 2008 and we have successfully defended it in recent years. We cannot allow our GI Bill to be dismantled or abused. This is why I am standing with my fellow IAVA members to respectfully request that you reverse this counterproductive policy change that creates barriers to access to these transformative benefits. The GI Bill has been earned by millions of men and women on the battlefield and around the world and it should not be subjected to arbitrary restrictions that limit its use. Again, thank you for your leadership and I ask that you take action now to reverse this decision.

  • Criminal Justice Collapse: the Constitution After Hurricane Katrina
    04__GARRETT_TETLOW.DOC 11/14/2006 8:38 AM CRIMINAL JUSTICE COLLAPSE: THE CONSTITUTION AFTER HURRICANE KATRINA BRANDON L. GARRETT† TANIA TETLOW†† ABSTRACT The New Orleans criminal justice system collapsed after Hurricane Katrina, resulting in a constitutional crisis. Eight thousand people, mostly indigent and charged with misdemeanors such as public drunkenness or failure to pay traffic tickets, languished indefinitely in state prisons. The court system shut its doors, the police department fell into disarray, few prosecutors remained, and a handful of public defenders could not meet with, much less represent, the thousands detained. This dire situation persisted for many months, long after the system should have been able to recover. We present a narrative of the collapse of the New Orleans area criminal system after Hurricane Katrina. Not only did this perfect storm illuminate how unprepared our local criminal systems may remain for a severe natural disaster or terrorist attack, but it raised unique and underexplored constitutional questions. We argue that constitutional criminal procedure failed to serve its protective role during this emergency, while deferential rules Copyright © 2006 by Brandon L.

    GOVERNORS The National Mood and the Seats in Play: Understanding the 2016 Gubernatorial Elections By Jennifer M.

Republicans already held 31 governor- ships to the Democrats’ 18—Alaska Gov. Bill Walker is an Independent—and with about half the gubernatorial elections considered competitive, Republicans had the potential to increase their control to 36 governors’ mansions. For their part, Democrats had a realistic chance to convert only a couple of Republican governorships to their party. Given the party’s win-loss potential, Republicans were optimistic, in a good position.

  • An Abbreviated Article, Part 1
    An Abbreviated Article The title of this article might indicate to the reader that this may be a shortened offering from yours truly, but instead it is on the topic of abbreviations commonly used in the Crescent City, or as some might say: NOLA. Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or longer phrases found in almost every field or discipline of our daily lives, from commonly used abbreviations in names or titles, such as Mr., as in Mr. Bingle, or Dr., as in Dr. John., to quite commonly used local abbreviations, such as MB for Maison Blanche, and KB or K&B for Katz and Besthoff. They are commonplace in the use of weights and measures, distances, medicine, cooking and baking. And if you need directions, it’s best you know location abbreviations such as Blvd. and Ave. That’s where New Orleans’ neutral grounds are usually located. These ads ran side by side in the New Orleans Item, September 21, 1938. On the same page was an ad for the L & L Shop at 622 Canal. Many abbreviations have been used for so many years in New Orleans that we have forgotten what the original letters stood for. For example, there’s P&J’s Oysters, key supplier of oysters to restaurants locally as well as nationally. John Popich was the “P” and Joe Jurisich was the “J”, but Alfred Sunseri, a cousin of Joe Jurisich, was the driving force, and all these many years later, P&J’s is still run by the Sunseri family. And the A&G Cafeterias, just like K&B and MB, “ain’t dere no more”.
