CNN Obtains Office Space For New Bureau In New Orleans

CNN is establishing a bureau in New Orleans, too.

“The story of the devastating wrath of Hurricane Katrina will unfold for years to come as the coast recovers and rebuilds. CNN will be there to cover that story, and New Orleans will be a critical base of operations for us for a long time,” Jon Klein says.

“CNN recently obtained office space in downtown New Orleans and will soon move equipment, correspondents, photojournalists and a production crew to the new location,” the press release says. The site will house the network’s satellite trucks and a studio outfitted for live reports.”
