About Jed Horne: When Katrina struck, Jed Horne was city editor of The Times-Picayune, which won two Pulitzer Prizes for its coverage of the catastrophe, including work under Horne’s byline. His account of the storm and its aftermath, “Breach of Faith, Hurricane Katrina and the Near Death of a Great American City”, was named “the best of the Katrina books” by National Public Radio. Horne has been interviewed on dozens major media outlets ranging from “Fresh Air” to “Democracy Now” to Tavis Smiley and Charlie Rose TV talk shows. His articles and op-ed pieces have appeared in the Boston Globe, the Guardian, the New Republic, Oxford American and Nieman Reports. A 1970 graduate of Harvard College, Horne worked for many years in New York before moving to New Orleans in 1988.
