Monroe Library Loyola University New Orleans Collection 29 WYES Informed Sources Archive Reference Code Collection 29 Name and Location of Repository Special Collections and Archives, J. Edgar & Louise S. Monroe Library, Loyola University New Orleans Title WYES Informed Sources Archive Date 1984 - Present Extent 5 boxes Subject Headings WYES-TV (Television station : New Orleans, La.) Administrative/Biographical History In 1984, WYES, New Orleans' public television station, began broadcasting Informed Sources, a program devoted to in-depth discussion of the news by local journalists. During that first show, a panel of journalists speculated about the reasons for the financial dilemmas of the Louisiana World Exposition, locally known as the World's Fair. Now more than two decades later, every Friday night at 7:00 p.m., Louisiana's newsmen and women continue to speculate, discuss and examine the news of the week. The idea for Informed Sources originated in 1971 on WYES with City Desk, a news and talk show, which featured the staff of the New Orleans States-Item and ran for seven seasons. The station had been without a news program for several years when Marcia Kavanaugh Radlauer, an experienced television reporter and independent producer, was asked to create a new show. Like City Desk, the format was a panel discussion of current news, but instead of featuring journalists from only one source, a variety of participants from television, radio, newspapers and eventually, online newsletters contributed their talents and expertise. Informed Sources originally included a "Newsmakers" interview to help fill the half-hour, but before long that segment was omitted.

Jones Publisher, Data News Weekly As we near New Orleans’ 300th Anniversary, there is only one candidate who seems to have what it takes to lead us as Mayor . Desirée Charbonnet, is not only tied to the great and deeply rooted history of New Orleans as a member of a family whose name we all know, she is much more than that . Not being one to rest on those laurels, she decided long ago, not to make her way based on her name . Instead, she has forged her own path, and because of her courage and tenacity, is well-known and highly respected for her service to others . She has a 20- year record as an elected official; one of competence, consistency and compassion . She is armed with the tools to bring people together from all walks of life and is a bridge builder who believes that all zip codes matter . While she has been under attack by those who are looking for a mayor they can control, she has stood steadfast as an independent voice for the people of this City, who desire a leader who will represent all citizens .
