Everything You ever Wanted to Read about Katrina

I found this in 'Spiegel magazine, online':

SPIEGEL SURFS THE WEB

Everything You ever Wanted to Read about Katrina

Database giant Lexis-Nexis, which archives more newspapers and magazines than any other company, has opened the floodgates to its Katrina coverage, offering Web surfers free access to any article it has about the unfolding state of emergency on the Gulf Coast.

Back during the tsunami in South Asia we linked to Reuters AlertNet, a free and invaluable service that combines the news agency's reports with information helpful to nonprofit organizations working in disaster and crisis zones. We were happy to see this week that Lexis-Nexis, the world's largest news database, with more than 4,000 sources in the United States and around the world, has created a special portal that opens the gates to all of the coverage of Hurricane Katrina and the recovery operation in its databank.

You can find reporting from most of the regional papers in the hurricane region, including The Advocate in Baton Rouge, Lousiana, the Sun Herald in Biloxi, Mississippi and the Houston Chronicle, which is reporting daily on the New Orleans refugees who have been relocated to the city. The site also provides a glimpse of how the rest of the world is covering Katrina and gives you links to the latest statements from President George W. Bush, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin.
