Peter Kovacs, a managing editor of The Times-Picayune, doesn’t know if his home survived Hurricane Katrina but fears it did not.
He doesn’t know when he and his colleagues will be able to return to their newsroom in New Orleans, but figures it won’t be soon.
He’s also not sure what time the PDF version of Friday’s paper will be posted to the Internet, but guesses it might be “some time between the time I fall asleep and the time I wake up.”
So, all things considered, how’s it going?
“About as bad as could be,” Kovacs said by phone from Baton Rouge Thursday evening, noting that the paper’s circumstances, like the story itself, seem to be getting worse day by day.
