The Times Picayune's Unofficial Motto Reflects Resilience After Hurricane Katrina
The Times Picayune, a U.S. newspaper, adopted the unofficial motto "We publish come hell and high water" after its newsroom staff continued reporting through Hurricane Katrina in 2005. This motto signifies the newspaper's commitment to delivering news despite extreme challenges. The source highlights various newspaper slogans, including the New York Times' "All the news that’s fit to print," added in 1896 by owner Adolph S. Ochs, and the Washington Post’s "Democracy dies in darkness," introduced in February 2017. The article also mentions The Astorian's Latin motto, "speculum verum communis," meaning "the true mirror of the community," which has been central to its identity for over 150 years. These mottos underscore the diverse philosophies and historical contexts of American journalism.
