'Covering Katrina' chronicles the dramatic tale of the media's reporting of the killer storm that struck the Gulf Coast. Never-before-displayed artifacts illustrate the professional challenges and personal losses reporters suffered covering the storm and the sometimes perilous conditions they faced. The exhibit also includes an original Newseum-produced video that features dramatic footage of storm coverage along with vivid and often emotional first-person accounts from newspaper editors and TV journalists who balanced objective reporting with their own personal frustrations.
