The news coverage that I would like to evaluate is Hurricane Katrina.

The world was hit by the deadly and vicious hurricane that destroyed parts of New Orleans and is said to be the costliest tropical cyclone ever recorded with over $125 billion in damage in late August 2005. {Wiki-pedia}

<h3>What is a News Coverage?</h3>

This refers to the media news that covers the news event that is covered in depth based on its magnitude and importance.

The 2005 Hurricane Katrina was devastating as its casualties were over 1,800 persons and threw the nation of America and the state of New Orleans in a deep state of sadness, loss, and destruction.

The news coverage did NOT violate the privacy of the victims as it just reported the facts of the tragedy.

No, there was no major ethical issue from the news publication.
