An exercise in how to tell an environmental story with real impact.
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita ripped away 217 square miles of Louisiana’s fragile coastline, and this slideshow, with audio and pictures by Ted Jackson of the Times Picayune, New Orleans, documents the effects on the surrounding wetlands. You get a real feel for the battle for survival here, and an inkling of the frustration the environmental experts are experiencing.¬† Some of the audio sounds really noisy but I couldn’t work out if this was meant to be adding atmosphere or not? Still a strong piece, sending a powerful message without preaching.
