NPR interviews the Times-Picayune editor

Fresh Air (“Jazz hands!”) interviewed Jim Amoss, the editor of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, about reporting during Katrina and after.

The newsroom Jim Amoss leads was widely praised for its unflinching coverage of the government’s response to Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. In a piece one month ago, Amoss said “New Orleans has become two cities — an enclave of survivors clustered along the Mississippi River’s crescent and a vast and sprawling shadow city where the water stood, devoid of power and people.”

Definitely worth a listen.
