Along the Gulf Coast, history is often referenced as pre-Katrina or post-Katrina. However, the natural disaster that appalled the world in 2005 has been joined by another catastrophe, this one man-made--the greatest environmental and maritime accident of all time, the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. In less than five years, the Gulf Coast has experienced two colossal disasters, very different, yet very similar. And these two equally complex crises have resulted in a steep learning curve for all, but especially the journalists covering these enduring stories.

In Oil and Water, the authors show how Katrina journalists have reluctantly had to transform into oil spill journalists. The authors look at this process from the viewpoints not only of the journalists, but also of the public and of the scientific community. This book assesses the quality of journalism and the effects that quality may have on the public. The authors argue that regardless of the type of journalism involved or the immensity of the events covered, successful reportage still depends on the fundamentals of journalism and the importance of following these tenets consistently in a crisis atmosphere, especially when confronted with enduring crises that are just years apart.

CONTENTS
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This has been a labor of love born out of two tragedies, seven years in the making, and a true team effort. As professionals turned academics, we truly understand the different parts of the stakeholder equationthe social scientist, the audience member, the news creator. We study disaster with an eye on making journalism better and we hope this book is a contribution to that effort.
We would like to thank our professional contacts for their invaluable contributions, including Lynn Cunningham of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Monica Pierre of Entercom, and Chris Slaughter of WWL-TV for providing access to their outlets, journalists, and archives. To the journalists who wanted to remain anonymous, we recognize your efforts as well. We would also like to thank the hard-working scientists of the Gulf Coast who gave us their time during the oil disaster and, a year later, our editor, Craig Gill, and the HIPIP crew: Renee Edwards, David Brown, Stephanie Houston Grey, Michael Rold, and Chris Mapp.
Funding for the HIPIP projects came from a grant from the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium Coastal Storms Program. Funding for some travel came from W. Lawrence and Susan K. Patrick through a Broadcast Education Association Scholarship.
We would also like to thank our families, including Grace and Zachary Miller, Zachary Ramjattan, and Bernadette Roberts. Finally, deep appreciation to our wonderful spouses, Doug Miller, Nicholas Ramjattan, and Ben LaPoe (who was also our fabulous copy editor), for their support, sacrifice, and encouragement.
