 Reservoir: Deconstructing Katrina   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
According to Paul Salopek, a Tribune foreign correspondent who covered the disaster in New Orleans, the saturation media coverage exposed government incompetence at all levels and forced a “speedier, albeit late, humanitarian response.” Salopek compared his experience covering the Katrina aftermath to covering warzones.
Salopek said the major fault of the media in its coverage was that there was too much sensationalism in the beginning regarding the degree of violence that ensued after the storm.
“All of [that] undoubtedly reinforced racial stereotyping.” Salopek said he felt that TV was the “most egregious offender” because of its tendency to subsist off of visual drama and “reportorial grandstanding” instead of an unbiased analysis.
