In a time when newspapers are considered obsolete by some, it’s refreshing to acknowledge the 175th anniversary [in 2012] of publication by the Times-Picayune in New Orleans. You may remember that the paper valiantly struggled during the recovery from Hurricane Katrina and successfully continued to provide the latest news about what was going on in the city and the region.
New Orleans is known for its jazz, but it’s also a city that attracted writers, incuding Tennessee Williams (at left), William Faulkner, Truman Capote, Lafcadio Hearn, and others.
