Via Atlas Obscura
When one visits New Orleans the sense of history is palpable… for the living and the dead.
Due to the Sea Level or below nature of the Big Easy, getting buried was entirely above board –or at least above ground.
Ornate and festooned cemeteries provide a stony history of the city’s residents. Clues to what these places tell us in New Orleans and elsewhere rests, perhaps eternally rests, with the symbols chosen to embellish eternity.
The Journosaur Project started with the notion that what is old is new again…. that “old school” methods and practices for journalism are still viable in today’s digital world. While the methods of communication have become hyper-charged in the era of the internet, the essence of what journalists do and how they practice their craft still is rooted in storytelling and a search for the truth. Like most contemporary projects, however, the Journosaur Project started with a Facebook invitation for veterans of many changes to tell their stories and provide insights as to what practices have endured and still serve us well. There will be more to come. Drop by and visit us from time to time. We promise the Journosaurs don’t bite.
