Kaye Trammell has written an op-ed, Slogging, and Blogging, Through Katrina for the Washington Post today.

These blogs no longer belong to the blogger but to the community, as a centralized mechanism for communication and comfort in the face of natural disaster. They amend the coverage in several ways.

Kaye ends the piece with this simple line:

Blogging will not change the world in crisis, but it will make it more human.

I was honored that Kaye mentioned me along with Rex Hammock when calling for better cooperation between cities and governments with bloggers. Kaye was referencing this post I wrote earlier this week.
