Katrina Resources: News and Analysis

Here are some of the better sources for news and analysis related to Hurricane Katrina. If you've got other favorites, please add them in the comments section.

A timeline of government response to Hurricane Katrina is a resource that you can help build. It's exactly the sort of thing I think we'll need as the battle over responsibility for official failings heats up. And it will heat up.

Oliver Wang's doing great work over at Poplicks.com. I love it when he's on his game.

Democracy Now! does an excellent radio/tv show with a left/lib perspective and they eventually post the transcripts as well.

I think Yahoo News does a great job of aggregating articles from mainstream news sources such as the Associated Press from which so many news articles are built.

The New York Times also tends to be a decent mainstream news source on this kind of thing and after an initially slow response has gotten reporters on the job.

Wired News gets into the technosocial aspects and is doing a decent job with Katrina, though nowhere near as good as the work they did on 9/11.

I'll get back with a hip hop and the hurricane roundup later in the week.
