For New Orleans, a Daily That’s No Longer Daily

More than 300 current and former colleagues, family members and well-wishers gathered to raise a final glass to The Times-Picayune’s 175-year run as a daily newspaper. While The Times-Picayune remains the largest news-gathering organization in the state, many are worried that the reduction in staff will jeopardize big investigative projects like the eight-part series on the Louisiana prison system it published in May. And others are worried that an increasingly digital news landscape will leave the large number of city residents who do not have regular Internet access in the cold.
