APME President: Good reasons for journalists to gather in New Orleans

Come to New Orleans for the APME Annual Conference Oct. 25-28 and rejuvenate, reinvent and rejoice in one of America's great cities as it returns to its old glory after Hurricane Katrina.

Editors throughout the Gulf Region are joining peers at The Times-Picayune in planning an outstanding conference, beckoning journalists to come and see first-hand the ever-folding story that continues to play out on front pages across the country.

How well did American media cover the disaster? Where did they miss the mark? What lessons can be learned? What will the ravages of the storm and flooding mean for U.S. society? Culture? The economy?

The conference will be held at the Astor Crowne Plaza, the gateway to the city's fame French Quarter at the corner of Canal and Bourbon Streets. The hotel remained open throughout the hurricane and flooding. It suffered minimal damage and until recently was one of the downtown mainstays for FEMA workers and insurance adjusters. It is in great shape, open to tourists, and the oysters are back in the bar at Dickie Brennan's Bourbon House on the first floor.
