It’s been 15 years since @The_Gambit published its first paper after Katrina. Clancy and the staff did it against all odds, and helped give folks here a small bit of normal to hold on to in the midst of horror and uncertainty. https://twitter.com/clancygambit/status/1323469427363311617
Before I lived here, I heard about this issue from people I know who lived through the storm. It was important for the local weekly rag to be back. A seemingly small but important milestone. And the staff did great work. Hard work. Work most journalists will never understand
Im honored and humbled to be a part of their legacy. They could have walked off. Clancy and them could have simply written the paper off as lost. And nobody could blame them. But they decided to stand their ground and do the job. And that counts.
