"This Is Why I Do This in the First Place.".

The article presents an interview with Stan Tiner, executive editor of Sun Herald. In covering Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and its aftermath, Tiner said that there was the time in which they were swept up by the moment. The adrenaline that allowed them to go at the pace for a while eventually wore off, and journalists have to structure their coverage much better and be very deliberative about it. Since everybody on the paper's staff is living the same kind of life that people in the community are, they understand the things that are hurting their lives. For Tiner, the worst moment of their coverage was those early days when he just did not know whether some of his staff was alive.
