<p>Many representatives of the news media reporting on the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina became directly involved in the unfolding events, instead of simply reporting. Due to the loss of most means of communication, such as land-based and cellular telephone systems, field reporters in many cases became conduits for information between victims and authorities. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Media_involvement">Media involvement</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Media_coverage_of_Hurricane_Katrina&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Media involvement"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Several reporters for various <a href="/wiki/News_agencies" class="mw-redirect" title="News agencies">news agencies</a> located groups of stranded victims, and reported their location via <a href="/wiki/Satellite_uplink" class="mw-redirect" title="Satellite uplink">satellite uplink</a>. Authorities, who monitored the network news broadcasts, would then attempt to coordinate rescue efforts based on the news reports. This was best illustrated when <a href="/wiki/Shepard_Smith" title="Shepard Smith">Shepard Smith</a> and <a href="/wiki/Geraldo_Rivera" title="Geraldo Rivera">Geraldo Rivera</a> of <a href="/wiki/Fox_News" title="Fox News">Fox News</a>, among others, reported thousands of people stranded at the <a href="/wiki/Ernest_N._Morial_Convention_Center" class="mw-redirect" title="Ernest N.

Many news organizations carried the unsubstantiated accounts that murder and rape were widespread, and in some cases later repeated the claims as fact, without attribution. However, only one actual report of a raping occurred during the uproar.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A few of the reports of rape and violence were based on statements made by New Orleans city officials, including the Chief of Police.

For example, Vanity Fair qualified <a href="/wiki/Brian_Williams" title="Brian Williams">Brian Williams</a>' (of NBC) work regarding Katrina as “Murrow-worthy” and reported that during the hurricane he became “a nation’s anchor.” The New York Times characterised William's reporting of the hurricane as “a defining moment.” Later, questions were raised about this reporting by the Times-Picayune of New Orleans.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Some issues of racial bias in media coverage began to surface as Caucasian flood victims were portrayed in one <a href="/wiki/Agence_France-Presse" title="Agence France-Presse">Agence France-Presse</a> photo as "finding" supplies, while a black person was described in an <a href="/wiki/Associated_Press" title="Associated Press">Associated Press</a> photo as "looting" supplies. The photographers later clarified the two stories, one claiming he witnessed the black person looting a flooded store, while the other photographer described the white people as finding the food floating in floodwaters.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The image was widely reused on the internet in various modified forms, and was known as "Lootie".

Many family members, unable to contact local authorities in the affected areas, discovered the fate of a loved one via an online photo or television video clip. In one instance, a family in Clearwater, Florida discovered their mother was still alive in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi after seeing a photo of her on TampaBayStart.com, a regional news site. </p><p>The storm also brought a dramatic rise in the role of <a href="/wiki/Internet_sites" class="mw-redirect" title="Internet sites">internet sites</a>—especially <a href="/wiki/Blogging" class="mw-redirect" title="Blogging">blogging</a> and community journalism.

The site became an international focal point for news by local media, and also became a vital link for rescue operations and later for reuniting scattered residents, as it accepted and posted thousands of individual pleas for rescue on its blogs and forums. NOLA was monitored constantly by an array of rescue teams—from individuals to the Coast Guard—which used information in rescue efforts. Much of this information was relayed from trapped victims via the SMS functions of their cell phones, to friends and relatives outside the area, who then relayed the information back to NOLA.com. The aggregation of community journalism, user photos and the use of the internet site as a collaborative response to the storm attracted international attention, and was called a watershed moment in journalism.<sup id="cite_ref-OJR_NOLA_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-OJR_NOLA-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the wake of these online-only efforts, the Pulitzer Committee for the first time opened all its categories to online entries.<sup id="cite_ref-Pulitzer_speech_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pulitzer_speech-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In September 2022, the Associated Press issued a style guide change to Katrina stating that reporters when writing about the storm in New Orleans should note that “…levee failures played a major role in the devastation in New Orleans.
