Las noticias sobre Nueva Orleans

Developments in New Orleans and the surrounding area are dominating news coverage throughout the Spanish-speaking world. Here are links to a sampling of recent stories:

• El caos se extiende por Nueva Orleans y miles de personas esperan su rescate (El Mundo)
• La evacuación del "Superdome" se vuelve caótica (Unionradio.net)
• Suspenden evacuación en "Superdome" por disparos (El Comercio)
• Los 23.000 refugiados del Superdome serán enviados a Texas (La Nueva España)

At this point, most of the Spanish-language news media are using translated reports from U.S. news media. However, a few of them are developing stories of their own or looking for a local angle. For example, this story, prepared by a Spanish news service, talks about Spanish tourists who are waiting to be evacuated from New Orleans.
