COVERING VIOLENCE AND TRAUMA
***Disaster coverage: the journalism of outrage
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita changed rules of disaster coverage. Journalistic objectivity and professional detachment have begun to give way to righteous indignation and emotion-laden reporting, Claude Adams writes. Shouldn't we have been doing that all along? ED: Welcome to the J-Source team, Claude Adams! Claude will draw on his experience working in Haiti, Rwanda and other hot spots as our new Covering Violence and Trauma co-editor.

THE BUSINESS OF JOURNALISM
***Howard Kurtz leaves WaPo for "more nimble" Daily Beast
