Hurricane!

The reporting after Hurricane Katrina was heroic.

Seriously though, the Times Picayune and Biloxi Sun Herald have done amazing work under difficult circumstances to not only deal with the scale and scope of destruction wrought by Katrina, Rita, and Wilma, but have produced first rate journalism. They're often source material for many of my own bloggings on the ongoing rebuilding on the Gulf Coast - mostly because the national media has moved on to other stories.
