Two years after Hurricane Katrina
Labor media reports from New Orleans

Two years after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans struggles to recover.
October 18-20, 2007, the International Labor Communications Association convention in New Orleans sent more than 70 labor journalists into the streets of New Orleans to document the continuing tragedy wrought first by Hurricane Katrina, then by government’s inept response. They researched and wrote stories and shot photos and video.
View their reporting at www.neworleanslabormedia.org.
