New Orleans Newspaper improvise with blogs and web editions

The New Orleans Times-Picayune did not publish today, offering only an Internet edition while struggling to find a location to print Louisiana’s largest newspaper.

One consolation for reporters and editors is that it’s not clear how many people would have a chance to read the 260,000-circulation paper.

“Things are so bad in the city that there are no ways to get copies of the paper to anyone anyway,” said Mark Schleifstein, the environmental reporter and hurricane expert drafted into duty as the paper’s spokesman in the crisis. “The water is continuing to rise and people are pouring out of the city.”

The 168-year-old newspaper continued to publish stories and photos on its website nola.com while its publisher and managers scrambled to find an alternative site to print its daily edition.
