Hurricane Katrina caused widespread devastation along the Gulf Coast in 2005. Several articles provided effective journalism by objectively reporting key facts about the storm's impacts and the response efforts. They detailed the extensive damage to cities like New Orleans, gave accurate information about risks like contaminated water, and questioned officials about relief plans. Other pieces provided less useful information by being too brief, emotional, or one-sided in their coverage of the crisis. Overall, the most effective journalism provided thorough, unbiased reporting and context that helped people understand the full scale of the disaster.
