BEST PRACTICES FOR DISASTER COVERAGE: AN ANALYSIS OF HOW THE SUN HERALD NEWSPAPER AND WLOX-TV COVERED HURRICANE KATRINA A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Journalism The University of Mississippi by NICOLE R. SHERIFF May 2011 Copyright Nicole R. Sheriff 2011 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT A substantial amount of research has been done on Hurricane Katrina and its effects on New Orleans, Louisiana. However, few studies have focused on how the Mississippi Gulf Coast was affected by the hurricane. The purpose of this study is to bring attention to the reporting efforts of WLOX-TV and the Sun Herald newspaper to cover Hurricane Katrina. This case study analyzes the practices WLOX and the Sun Herald used to cover the hurricane and to explore which practices could be implemented in other newsrooms in the future.

Contact: [email protected] BffiLIOGRAPHY Holocaust-Denial Literature: A Sixth Bibliography John A. Drobnicki York College/CUNY This bibliography is a supplement to five earlier ones that were pub lished in the March 1994; December 1996, September 1998, December 2000, and September 2002 issues of the Bulletin of Bibliography, which has since ceased publication. During the intervening time, Holocaust denial has continued to be discussed in both the scholarly literature and the main stream press, especially during the trial resulting from the libel lawsuit filed by David Irving against Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin Books, and his sub sequent appeal of that verdict. The Holocaust deniers, who prefer to call themselves "revisionists" in an attempt to gain scholarly legitimacy, have refused to go away and have continued to take advantage of new media. Holocaust denial is a body of literature that seeks to prove that the Jewish Holocaust did not happen. Although individual deniers may have different motives and beliefs, they all share at least one point: that there was no systematic attempt by Nazi Germany to exterminate European Jewry. Hence they claim that the Holocaust is a hoax perpetrated by Jews (Zion ists) in an attempt to blackmail the rest of the world for sympathy, money, and legitimacy for the state of Israel.
