"Hurricane Katrina was experienced by most Americans as a media event at the same time that the Internet and other digital technologies were rapidly converging with 'legacy' media. This thoughtful and impassioned collection breaks new ground by examining the digital representation of the event via user-generated video technologies such as YouTube alongside the traditional mass media. Katrina graphically exposed American racial inequalities and tensions across a range of media platforms, and it was a watershed moment for an American public that faced the reality of crumbling urban infrastructure alongside the development of new digital media infrastructures and economies. Read this book to understand media convergence and its role within and response to the first great national disaster of the digital age." - Lisa Nakamura, Director, Asian American Studies Program, University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign
