Talk:Media coverage of Hurricane Katrina

On the Use of "Refugees"
I have noticed the use of the term "refugees" to refer to those displaced by Katrina. Hasn't this already been shown to be an inaccurate and even racist term for the victims of Katrina?

moved
I've moved it so that the article can be broadened to cover other media issues, like how the media talked about looters. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 19:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

So Poor and So Black & Geogre Bush doesn't care about black people
why doesn't this have any mentions of the now infamous lines "So poor and so black" by CNN's Wolf Blitzer and the rant that Kanye West made at an telethon hosted by NBC Universial that badmouthed President Bush. boutitbenza_69_9

Fair use rationale for Image:KATUTVCar.jpg
Image:KATUTVCar.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:Geraldo-Rivera-Katrina-Aftermath-FNC.jpg
The image Image:Geraldo-Rivera-Katrina-Aftermath-FNC.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
 * That this article is linked to from the image description page.

How did the local newspapers portray the different races? Did racism play a role and who got support? I think these questions should be answered or mentioned in some part of this article. Jenks27 (talk) 17:01, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
