The document provides examples of effective and ineffective hurricane Katrina coverage both during and after the storm. [1] Effective coverage during the storm was proactive, used credible sources, stuck to factual information and was constantly updated. [2] Ineffective coverage during the storm jumped to conclusions, undermined the emergency response or lacked proper context. [3] Effective coverage after focused on how to learn lessons and constructively address the government response, while ineffective examples furthered divisions or undermined the seriousness of the situation.
