Reports are out this morning that the main newspaper in New Orleans, the Times-Picayune, will be making massive staff cuts and even cutting back on its daily printing schedule.

In today’s Mid-day Extra we spoke with Jed Horne, who served as city editor at the paper during Hurricane Katrina and has also written a book on post-Katrina New Orleans.
