Michael Graff, Sara Fischer, Axios; Locals turn to legacy media as hurricane rumors swirl
"Old-fashioned legacy media — especially radio — have become a vital information lifeline in the chaotic aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
Why it matters: Power outages, lost cell signals and hundreds of road closures have stifled on-the-ground reporting, giving way to falsehoods that can spread quickly online — and creating an urgent need to correct them.
- Local reporters are working overtime to correct the record. In many cases, they're filling an information void left by local government officials who were caught off guard by the severity of the storm's flooding in mountainous regions around Asheville, North Carolina."
