By national standards, for such a small market, the Times-Pic (sometimes nicknamed the Times-Pick-Your-Nose) is actually pretty good.

It's won several Pulitzers. The Sun-Herald (Biloxi) is another small paper that's far better than it should be, given how small the market is.

Getting back to the Times-Pic, Walker Percy once said that it's a sorry little paper, but it's the only thing keeping the politicians from stealing the underwear off the people of Louisiana. James Gill is still there and is generally one of the best opinion writers around. Check out his book for a good history of New Orleans ( http://www.amazon.com/Lords-Misrule-Mardi-Politics-Orleans/dp/0878059164 ).
