TWIAR.org is dedicating a page towards highlighting the "Media Hits" of the various news agencies around the world who have featured amateur radio and its role in the recovery efforts of the gulf coast hit hard by Hurricane Katrina.
Many of the articles will be from local news agencies (television stations, newspapers, and radio stations) but there will also be some items from the ARRL and other ham radio outlets that are providing insight into the valuable asset amateur radio is providing to the hardest hit areas of the gulf coast. Most of the items shown are from internet web searches. If you know of an article that was published and is not listed, please email the webmaster at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and give the URL and the agency's name that is featuring the story. This will also be a great opportunity to highlight amateur radio in your community. Please have those assisting in the efforts contact the local media outlets in your area. News agencies, no matter how far near or far they may be from the affected area, would enjoy showing how people in their community are getting involved in the relief efforts. The page will be updated often. Please feel free to click on the "XML" link in the page to place the "Katrina.xml" feed in your news aggregator.
