New Orleans Times-Picayune publishes online only

[ponto]

Kudos to the New Orleans Times-Picayune for publishing an edition today after its offices were flooded. The newspaper was only able to publish online, though, posting PDFs to the Web site.

Since then, the staff has had to evacuate. A note on the site says, "The Times-Picayune was forced to evacuate our Howard Avenue newsroom Tuesday. We are setting up bureaus in Houma and in Baton Rouge to continue to provide coverage of this disaster. We will continue to publish the newspaper each day without interruption. We will make it available in PDF form on nola.com each morning around midnight."

As a person who follows citizen journalism, you have got to see how blogs are starting to help those in the hurricane area.

The use of the new google maps, and information is amazing........some parts better than the main stream media for those in the local area.

If you see other examples of people using the web during this disaster, post it, if we are able to build a local system for Maysville we will.
