During the 10th anniversary week of Hurricane Katrina, TV news networks will be covering the milestone at length.
On Tuesday, CNN’s Anderson Cooper, who reported from New Orleans during the deadly hurricane, will anchor “The Storm That Never Stooped” at 8 p.m. ET with updates on New Orleans a decade later. Fox News ran a special on Friday and Shepard Smith, who also reported from New Orleans during the storm, will cover the anniversary each day this week on “Shepard Smith Reporting.”
MSNBC reporter Trymaine Lee will report from New Orleans on Thursday; Lee covered the storm for The Times-Picayune during and after, and won a Pulitzer Prize for the article “Nightmare in the 9th Ward All Too Real for One Woman.”
ABC’s Robin Roberts hosted the special “10 Years After The Storm” on Sunday and the network will cover the anniversary across its programming, as will CBS News and NBC News.
And The Weather Channel will look to the future, airing “Katrina 2065” on Thursday at 7 p.m. ET, looking at what would happen if a similar storm happened 50 years from now when ocean waters are expected to be higher.
