- PETER Focuses on Miami’s response only Hurricane Andrew and does not step out to explore the bigger picture like the previous article from Engineering News Record does
- PETER Coverage from mainstream media was vague immediately before and after Hurricane Katrina first hit; as though mainstream media made light of the situation ---vague in the beginning….not until the event itself happened that media highlighted the severity of the situation --in some cases it appeared that the mainstream media made light of the crisis
- ARIELLE NWS--there could be some topping of levees”, but ends on that note, does not explain what this means or what the risks involved are, also it makes Hurricane Katrina seem like it MIGHT hit land, severity of storm not enforced “ The storm moved west at about 7 mph and was expected to take a gradual turn west-northwest through the early afternoon. Landfall is expected early Monday.” -include above quote, sounds so casual, words like gradual make it seem like a harmless storm CNN News Coverage Focuses on the problems, not how people can help Focuses on stories of individuals who can’t communicate with outside world but no mention of programs that have been set up to aid these people
- KORI Need link for article -A front page article in the NY TIMES -…it was senator david vitter NOT so and so from FEMA…. Treaster, J. & Kleinfield, N. (2005). New Orleans is inundated as 2 levees fail; much of gulf coast is crippled; toll rises. The New York Times, pp . 1A . A front-page article on Aug. 31 about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina misattributed a statement about the severity of flooding in New Orleans. It was Senator David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican, who said, "I don't want to alarm anyone that New Orleans is filling up like a bowl” Correction: Sept. 20, 2005, Tuesday: A front-page article on Aug. 31 about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina misattributed a statement about the severity of flooding in New Orleans. It was Senator David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican, who said, "I don't want to alarm anyone that New Orleans is filling up like a bowl" - not Michael D. Brown, who was director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
