The Times-Picayune, after a couple of weeks printing 16-page papers in Houma, La., today printed a larger press run of three-section, 32-page papers at the Mobile (Ala.) Register, another Newhouse paper. No word yet on when they'll be able to return to their building. But I've heard that their presses seem to have survived the flood.

Also, Mark Glaser at Online Journalism Review has an interview with Jon Donley, editor of NOLA.com, the online affiliate of the Times-Picayune. Not only did the blogs and forums keep people informed, they actually saved lives.

Donley said that an aide of Lt. Gen. Russel Honore, the commander of the relief efforts, had tasked a group of people with monitoring the NOLA View blog, and were taking notes and sending out rescue missions based on the postings. "In fact, one time we had some server issues," Donley said, "and [the aide] wrote us frantically saying, 'Get this up as soon as you can, people's lives depend on it. We've already saved a number of lives because of it.'"
