THE TIMES PICAYUNE

The paper is celebrating its 175th anniversary. Congratulations. It is also asking for citizens to share memories. The Brigade wishes to encourage all citizens to do so. Louisiana will celebrate its 200 year anniversary as a state next year. Let's begin the celebration early by assisting the T-P with our memories. In reading some of the comments posted, I am bewildered as to whether people have learned any history of this city and this state over generations. It is time to start the lecture online and set the record straight on many issues. It is time to face the good, the bad, and the ugly. However, in doing so show respect, perhaps some humor, but most importantly share the truth and recognize the truth. In fact, I would encourage all forms of the news media to recognize the value of the T-P over the years and bring their anniversary into their own reporting. Let's begin the important dialogue that is so essential to a new Nouvelle Orleans. The Brigade wonders if the other news media has the guts and frankly the honesty to recognize what the T-P has done for this city over the years.
