Of course major news coverage in these areas focus on the advent of the hurricane Katrina.

It's interesting to see how CNN who is reporting non-stop on tv with old-fashioned newsreporters broadcasting live on site, online has embraced the concept of "citizen journalist" (new to me) and ask people to send in emails, photos, videos etc to describe Katrina's path.

Even Politiken is asking for stories from down south. Hmmh.

The question is what news do you really want? A panting newsreporter telling you that "ghee, it rains a lot right here", while he is almost swept away by the storm, or amateur photos of wreckage taken at places you dont know? Or intimate but not necessarily very informative stories about the "citizen journalists'" own experiences. Do you want it all? And do you have the time to read it?

What I really want to know, is if and when Katrina is going to hit Atlanta, but that, my friend, is information that CNN seem to keep mostly to themselves. Apart from this not very revealing photo (at least if you are a non-US native).
