The New Orleans Levee
The New Orleans Levee was a New Orleans–based, American satire publication founded by editor and publisher Rudy Matthew Vorkapic.[a] It printed 25,000 copies monthly. The Levee's tagline was "We Don't Hold Anything Back". The paper targeted area politicians and some non-politicians whom the paper's staff saw as ruining the recovery efforts after the levee failures amid Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.[1][2]
Notes
[edit]- ^ Though the Levee itself hasn't said that it no longer exists, its website (nolevee.com) is a law blog as of 2022
