Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This book is chronological account of their coverage, both in selections of text of their transcripts, along with photos, that documents the uncovering of this compex story. Including studies done in the past predicting just such a tragedy, the path of the hurricane, and the consequences of the flooding and destruction. Book News Annotation:This chronicle of the first two weeks of the Hurricane Katrina
disaster combines photojournalism, visual and textual material from
CNN's website, and transcripts from the network's broadcast news
reports and on-air interviews. The book's treatment of the disaster
generally mirrors the what was broadcast on the news network as the
disaster unfolded, with dramatic coverage of destruction, human
misery, heroic rescues, and inescapable anger at government neglect;
relatively superficial discussion of underlying socioeconomic issues;
and near total neglect of the long-term political battles being
fought by people in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast hoping to
reconstruct their lives in the face of greedy development interests
and allied political opportunists. CNN will be donating all of its
royalties from the book to the American Red Cross Katrina Relief
Effort, and the publisher will match the donation.
