Mayors: Media missing the story
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin on Wednesday criticized ongoing press coverage of this city and efforts to rebuild since Hurricane Katrina, saying the media, local and national, was ignoring many of the positive events.
Meanwhile, Biloxi Mayor A.J. Holloway offered his own media critique, telling the dozens of editors gathered that the national media had missed the story in his city. “New Orleans’ story was sexier than Mississippi, it showed more on TV. New Orleans is a world class city, we don’t expect to get their attention,” he said, but added, “With all of you here today, we expect to get more.”
