The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate
is an American
newspaper
published in
New Orleans
,
Louisiana
. Ancestral publications of other names date back to January 25, 1837. The current publication is the result of the 2019 acquisition of
The Times-Picayune
(which was the result of the 1914 union of
The Picayune
with the
Times-Democrat
) by the New Orleans edition of
The Advocate
in
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
.
The Times-Picayune
was awarded the
Pulitzer Prize for Public Service
in 2006 for its coverage of
Hurricane Katrina
. Four of
The Times-Picayune
's staff reporters also received Pulitzers for breaking-news reporting for their storm coverage.
[2]
The paper funded the
Edgar A. Poe Award
for journalistic excellence, which was presented annually by the
White House Correspondents' Association
from 1990 to 2019.

[4]
History
[
edit
]
Established as
The Picayune
in 1837 by Francis Lumsden and
George Wilkins Kendall
, the paper's initial price was one
picayune
, a Spanish coin equivalent to 6¼¢ (half a
bit
, or one-sixteenth of a
dollar
).
[5]
Under
Eliza Jane Nicholson
, who inherited the struggling paper when her husband died in 1876, the
Picayune
introduced innovations such as
society reporting
(known as the "Society Bee" columns), children's pages, and the first women's advice column, which was written by
Dorothy Dix
. Between 1880 and 1890, the paper more than tripled its circulation.
[6]
The paper became
The Times-Picayune
after merging in 1914 with its rival, the New Orleans
Times-Democrat
.
[7]
From 1947 to 1958, the paper operated a radio station, WTPS, launching first on
FM
at
94.7
MHz
on January 3, 1947, and adding an AM station at
1450
kHz
a year later. WTPS(AM) later moved to
940
kHz
.
[8]
The stations primarily aired music, but also included newscasts drawn from the paper's staff and live broadcasts of local high school, college, and professional sports. Both stations went off the air in 1958.
[9]
In 1962,
Samuel Irving Newhouse, Sr.
, bought
The Times-Picayune
and the other remaining New Orleans daily, the afternoon
States-Item
. The papers were merged on June 2, 1980
[10]
and were known as
The Times-Picayune/States-Item
(except on Sundays; the
States-Item
did not publish a Sunday edition) until September 30, 1986.
[11]
In addition to the flagship paper, specific community editions of the newspaper are also circulated and retain the
Picayune
name, such as the
Gretna Picayune
for nearby
Gretna, Louisiana
.
The paper is owned by Georges Media, whose chair is
John Georges
, a New Orleans business owner.
In the vernacular of its circulation area, the newspaper is often called the
T-P
.
Hurricane Katrina
[
edit
]
Hurricane Katrina
became a significant part of
The Times-Picayune'
s history,
[12]
not only during the storm and its immediate aftermath but for years afterward in repercussions and editorials. As Hurricane Katrina approached on Sunday, August 28, 2005, dozens of the newspaper's staffers who opted not to evacuate rode out the storm in their office building, sleeping in sleeping bags and on air mattresses. Holed up in a small, sweltering interior office space?the photography department?outfitted as a "hurricane bunker," the newspaper staffers and staffers from the paper's affiliated website, NOLA.com, posted continual updates on the internet until the building was evacuated on August 30. With electrical outages leaving the presses out of commission after the storm, newspaper and web staffers produced a "newspaper" in electronic PDF format.
On NOLA.com, meanwhile, tens of thousands of evacuated New Orleans and Gulf Coast residents began using the site's forums and blogs, posting pleas for help, offering aid, and directing rescuers. NOLA's nurturing of so-called
citizen journalism
on a massive scale was hailed by many journalism experts as a watershed, while several agencies credited the site with leading to life-saving rescues and reunions of scattered victims after the storm.

After deciding to evacuate on Tuesday, August 30, because of rising floodwaters and possible security threats, the newspaper and web staff set up operations at
The Houma Courier
and in
Baton Rouge
, on the
Louisiana State University
campus. A small team of reporters and photographers volunteered to stay behind in New Orleans to report from the inside on the city's struggle, looting, and desperation. They armed themselves for security and worked out of a private residence.
The August 30, August 31, and September 1 editions were not printed, but were available online,
[13]
as was the paper's breaking news
blog
:
Hurricane Katrina struck metropolitan New Orleans on Monday with a staggering blow, far surpassing
Hurricane Betsy
, the landmark disaster of an earlier generation. The storm flooded huge swaths of the city, as well as Slidell on the north shore of
Lake Pontchartrain
, in a process that appeared to be spreading even as night fell.
[14]
?
Bruce Nolan, August 31, 2005 for
The Times-Picayune
After three days of online-only publication, the paper began printing again, first in Houma, La., and beginning September 15, 2005, in Mobile, Ala.; it resumed publication in New Orleans on October 10, 2005. The paper was awarded the
Pulitzer Prize for Public Service
in 2006 for its storm coverage. Several of its staff reporters also received the award for breaking news reporting for their coverage of Hurricane Katrina??Gordon Russell,
Jed Horne
and Bob Marshall??marking the first time a Pulitzer had been awarded for online journalism.
[15]
[16]
In a January 14, 2006 address to the
American Bar Association
Communications Lawyers Forum,
Times-Picayune
editor
Jim Amoss
commented on perhaps the most significant challenge that the staff faced then and continued to face as the future of New Orleans is contemplated:
For us, Katrina is and will be a defining moment of our lives, a story we'll be telling till the day we die. Being a part of the plot is both riveting and deeply unsettling. We don't yet know the end of this story ... It's the story of our lives, and we must both live and chronicle it.

Limited publication dates, launch of
The New Orleans Advocate
[
edit
]
On May 24, 2012, the paper's owner, Advance Publications, announced that the print edition of the
Times-Picayune
would be published three days a week (Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday) beginning at the end of September.
[18]
News of the change was first revealed the night before in a blog post by
New York Times
media writer
David Carr
.
[19]
A new company, NOLA Media Group, was created to oversee both the paper and its website, NOLA.com. Along with the change in its printing schedule, Advance also announced that significant cuts would be coming to the newsroom and staff of the
Picayune
.
[20]
A second new company, Advance Central Services Louisiana, was created to print and deliver the newspaper.
The decision to end daily circulation led to protests calling for continued publication for the
common good
; fifty local businesses wrote an open letter to the Newhouse family, urging them to sell the paper instead since they had stated it was still profitable. An
ad hoc
group of community institutions and civic leaders, The Times-Picayune Citizens Group,
[21]
was formed to seek alternatives for the continued daily publication of the newspaper.
[22]
In October 2012,
The Times-Picayune
began publishing its
broadsheet
paper on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Along with the change, the paper began publishing a special
tabloid-sized
edition following Sunday and Monday
New Orleans Saints
football games and an "early" Sunday broadsheet edition, available on Saturdays. The thrice-weekly publication schedule made New Orleans the largest American city not to have a
daily newspaper
,
[23]
until
The Advocate
of Baton Rouge
began publishing a New Orleans edition each day to fill the perceived gap on August 18, 2013. On June 12, 2012, Advance followed through with its layoff plans, as about 200
Times-Picayune
employees (including almost half of the newsroom staff) were notified that they would lose their jobs.
[24]
In January 2013, NOLA Media Group moved its news-gathering operation, along with sales, marketing, and other administrative functions, from its building at 3800 Howard Avenue, New Orleans, to offices on the 32nd and 31st floors of the One Canal Place office tower at 365 Canal Street, New Orleans. Advance Central Services Louisiana employees remained at Howard Avenue.
In April 2018, NOLA Media Group moved from the offices at One Canal Place to a newly renovated location at 201 St. Joseph Street, New Orleans. Its news staff, sales and sales support staff, marketing, and other administrative staff now work from the Warehouse District offices, offices in St. Tammany Parish at 500 River Highlands Blvd., Covington, and the existing East Jefferson Times-Picayune Bureau at 4013 N Interstate 10 Service Road W, Metairie.
The Times-Picayune'
s resumption of daily publication
[
edit
]
On April 30, 2013, the paper's publisher announced plans to print a tabloid version of
The Times-Picayune
, called
Times-Picayune Street
, on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, sold only through newsstands and retail locations. The move returned the paper to a daily printing schedule (including the "early" Sunday edition offered at newsstands on Saturdays).
[25]
The
TP Street
edition first went on sale Monday, June 24, 2013.
[26]
The new edition removed from New Orleans the designation as the largest city in the United States without its own daily newspaper; with
The Times-Picayune
and the New Orleans edition of
The Advocate
, the city now has two. However, in reporting its print circulation figures to the
Alliance for Audited Media
,
The Times-Picayune
still provides data only for the home-delivery days of Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday.
The paper returned to a full broadsheet format for all editions on September 6, 2014, and ceased using the "TP Street" name. On the same date, NOLA Media Group began publishing "bonus" editions of
The Times-Picayune
on Saturdays and Mondays to be home-delivered to all three-day subscribers at no additional cost.
[27]
The bonus editions were delivered for 17 weeks, the duration of the 2014 football season. On January 3, 2015, NOLA Media Group returned the paper to its previous three-day home delivery, printing two-section papers for street sales only on the other four days. On Saturday, February 13, 2016, NOLA Media Group debuted a street-sales-only "Early Sunday" edition, a hybrid of features from the former Saturday street-sales-only paper and sections from the Sunday paper, offered at the Sunday price.
Additional cuts
[
edit
]
On October 21, 2014, the paper announced it would begin printing and packaging
The Times-Picayune
in Mobile, Alabama, sometime in late 2015 or early 2016, closing the plant on Howard Avenue in New Orleans and eliminating more than 100 jobs at Advance Central Services Louisiana. The Howard Avenue building, which housed all aspects of the newspaper operation, opened in 1968. The building's lobby is lined with custom panels by sculptor
Enrique Alferez
, showing symbols used in communication throughout history. Although NOLA Media Group said in 2014 that it hoped to donate the building to a nonprofit institution in the community, it ultimately sold the building on September 2, 2016, to a local investor group for $3.5 million.
[28]
The newspaper of Sunday, January 17, 2016, was the last
Times-Picayune
to be printed in New Orleans.
[29]
The street-sales-only newspaper of Monday, January 18, 2016, was the first to be printed in Mobile. The New Orleans presses were to be decommissioned.
The circulation numbers for the printed
Times-Picayune
were the largest newspaper in Louisiana until the end of 2014. By then, declines in its sales, combined with circulation gains by
The Advocate
, dropped
The Times-Picayune
to second place behind
The Advocate
.
[30]
NOLA Media Group announced on June 15, 2015, that it would join with Alabama Media Group in a new regional media company across Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi, to be called Southeast Regional Media Group.
[31]
Additional job losses were expected in Louisiana;
[32]
those cuts came September 17, 2015, when NOLA Media Group fired 37 journalists, 28 of them full-time employees and nine part-timers.
[33]
Hardest-hit were the Baton Rouge bureau, which had been expanded in the 2012 makeover,
[34]
[35]
as well as
The Times-Picayune'
s high school prep sports staff and its music reporting staff.
[36]
The merged company was named Advance Media Southeast, registered in New Orleans. A facility to design and produce the pages of
The Times-Picayune
and four newspapers in Alabama and Mississippi?
The Birmingham News
, the
Mobile Press-Register
,
The Huntsville Times
, and
The Mississippi Press
in Pascagoula?was opened in January 2016 in a former suburban bureau of
The Times-Picayune
in
Metairie
, emptying the Howard Avenue building of the remaining staff. The Metairie building also houses Advance Central Services Southeast, formed from the combined Advance Central Services units in Louisiana and Alabama.
[37]
[38]
Production of another Advance newspaper,
The Oregonian
, was moved to the Metairie location in late 2016.
[39]
2019 acquisition
[
edit
]
On May 2, 2019, Advance Publications announced that
The Times-Picayune
had been sold to Georges Media, owner of
The Advocate
. The new owners stated that both papers would be folded into a single operation by June 2019 and that the NOLA.com brand would be maintained for the combined newspaper's digital operations. A filing required under the
WARN Act
stated that the entire staff of the
Times-Picayune
had been laid off, resulting in a loss of 161 jobs,
[40]
[41]
[42]
including 65 journalists.
[43]
The merged paper initially re-hired 10 of those journalists, and about 12 other employees.
[43]
The paper, carrying the nameplates of both
The Times-Picayune
and
The New Orleans Advocate
, began publication on July
1.
[44]
The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate
online
[
edit
]
The Times-Picayune
'
s first foray onto the internet came in 1995, with the www.NewOrleans.net website.
[45]
[46]
Among the website's features was the "Bourbocam", placed in the window of a French Quarter bar to broadcast images of Bourbon Street. During the 1996
Mardi Gras
, it was one of the first internet webcams to carry a live news event.
[47]
In early 1998, that site was superseded by www.nolalive.com, launched by
Advance Publications
. The site's format was similar to other websites launched in connection with Advance newspapers in New Jersey; Cleveland, Ohio; Michigan; Oregon; and Alabama.
[48]
Although nolalive.com was affiliated with
The Times-Picayune
and posted content created by the
T-P
newsroom, it was operated independently, and it also hosted blogs and forums. In early 2001, the site was renamed NOLA.com.
After a management change at NOLA.com in February 2009, content on the website more closely reflected that of
The Times-Picayune
. Articles written for the newspaper were posted to the website using the
Movable Type
content management system. In October 2018, the paper switched from Movable Type to Arc, the content management system created by developers at the Washington Post.
Led by Advance, the site underwent several redesigns over the years. On May 8, 2012, the site debuted its most dramatic redesign by Mule Design Studio of San Francisco. With bright yellow accents, the design echoed that of Advance's bellwether site in Michigan, mlive.com.
[49]
Following complaints from the public,
[50]
NOLA.com developed a toned-down palette and new typography.
[51]
However, the concept ? a continually updated "river" of combined news, sports, and entertainment content ? remained the same.
After the October 1, 2012, launch of NOLA Media Group, the publication workflow of the newspaper and website was reversed. All staff-produced content is published first to NOLA.com; content was harvested from the website for publication in the printed
Times-Picayune
.
NOLA.com also offers apps for mobile and tablet users;
[52]
The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate
offers subscribers an e-edition only.
[53]
Notable people
[
edit
]
The writers
William Faulkner
and
O. Henry
worked for
The Times-Picayune
.
[54]
The Louisiana historian
Sue Eakin
was formerly a
Times-Picayune
columnist.
[55]
Bill Minor
headed the paper's news bureau in
Jackson, Mississippi
from 1946 until it closed in 1976.
[56]
A weekly political column is penned by
Robert "Bob" Mann
, a
Democrat
who holds the Douglas Manship Chair of Journalism at
Louisiana State University
in
Baton Rouge
.
[57]
The Times-Picayune
was the longtime journalistic home of
British-American
satiric
columnist
James Gill
, although he moved to
The Advocate
in 2013, along with many former
Times-Picayune
editorial staffers. For more than a decade,
The Times-Picayune
was also the newspaper home of
Lolis Eric Elie
, who wrote a thrice-weekly metro column before he went on to write for television, most notably HBO's
Treme
and AMC's
Hell on Wheels
.
Already widely known, the journalist and television commentator
Iris Kelso
joined
The Times-Picayune
in 1979. She had been particularly known for her coverage of the
civil rights movement
.
[58]
Editorial stance
[
edit
]
The Times-Picayune
endorsed
George W. Bush
for
President
in 2000, but endorsed no Presidential candidate in 2004. In 2008 and 2012, the paper endorsed
Democrat
Barack Obama
for President.
[59]
It endorsed Democratic Party candidate
Hillary Clinton
in 2016.
[60]
In
gubernatorial
contests it endorsed
Mike Foster
,
Bobby Jindal
, and
David Vitter
. In the
mayoral race of 2006
,
The Times-Picayune
endorsed right-leaning
Democrat
Ron Forman
in the
primary election
and
Lieutenant Governor
Mitch Landrieu
in the
runoff
.
The Picayune endorsed Governor candidate
Edwin Washington Edwards
in 1971 and 1975. Still, it went against him in 1983 (endorsing incumbent
David C. Treen
), 1987 (endorsing challenger and eventual winner
Buddy Roemer
), and 1991 (endorsed Roemer in the primary, but switched to Edwards in the general election due to Edwards' opponent being former
Ku Klux Klan
Grand Wizard
David Duke
). The T-P also stung Edwards in 1979 even though he was barred from running for a third term, refusing to endorse Edwards' hand-picked candidate,
Louis Lambert
, in favor of Treen in the primary and general elections.
Journalism prizes and awards
[
edit
]
The Times-Picayune
was awarded a
1997 Pulitzer Prize
for a series analyzing the threatened global fish supply; that same year, staff cartoonist
Walt Handelsman
was awarded the
Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning
.
The Times-Picayune
shared the
2006 Pulitzer Prize
for public service coverage of
Hurricane Katrina
with
The Sun Herald
in similarly affected
Biloxi, Mississippi
. In addition, staff reporters Doug MacCash, Manuel Torres,
Trymaine Lee
, and Mark Schleifstein were awarded a
Pulitzer Prize
for breaking news reporting.
[61]
This award marked the first Pulitzer given for exclusively online journalism.
[62]
For its coverage of
Hurricane Katrina
,
The Times-Picayune
also received the 2005
George Polk Award
for Metropolitan Reporting,.
[63]

, and Bill Goldring.
[65]
Ongoing criticism of FEMA
[
edit
]
Soon after
The Times-Picayune
was able to restart publication following
Hurricane Katrina
, the newspaper printed a strongly worded
open letter
to President George W. Bush in its September 4, 2005, edition, criticizing him for the federal government's response to the disaster, and calling for the
firing
of
Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) chief
Michael D. Brown
. Brown tendered his resignation eight days later.
The Times-Picayune
long continued to editorialize on FEMA.
[66]
A searing editorial on April 18, 2009, lambasted FEMA and labeled "insulting" the alleged "attitude" of its spokesman Andrew Thomas
[67]
toward people who were cash-strapped after the evacuation from
Hurricane Gustav
, which, in the meantime, had become part of the melange of problems associated with hurricanes and governmental agencies.
[68]
A second editorial on the same day blasted the State of Louisiana's
Road Home
program and its contractor
ICF
.
[69]
The post-Katrina experience affected the paper's staff. On August 8, 2006, staff photographer John McCusker was arrested and hospitalized after he led police on a
high-speed chase
and then used his vehicle as a weapon, apparently hoping that they would
kill him
.
[70]
McCusker was released from the hospital by mid-August, saying he could not recall the incident at all, which was apparently sparked by the failure to receive an insurance settlement for his damaged house. On December 13, 2007, Judge Camille Buras reduced the charges against McCusker to misdemeanors. The episode led to establishing a support fund for McCusker and other
Times-Picayune
staff, which collected some $200,000 in a few days.
[71]
In October 2006, columnist
Chris Rose
admitted to seeking treatment for clinical depression after a year of "crying jags" and other emotionally isolating behavior.
