Two decades after the storm that drowned a city and displaced hundreds of thousands, the scars of Hurricane Katrina remain etched into New Orleans. Survivors remember the fear and chaos. Journalists who chronicled the devastation reflect on what they saw and how the story changed their profession in this special report produced with Lisa Frazier Page, professional-in-residence, and her class at the Manship School of Communication at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Page was the guest managing editor for the Summer 2025 issue with GJR Editor Jackie Spinner. The two were once colleagues in the Prince George’s County bureau of The Washington Post.
