NYT maintaining New Orleans bureau

Campbell Robertson had his first story out of New Orleans for the NYT today, a sort of 4th anniversary overview (strange that they published this after the anniversary, though maybe it was a tight weekend with Kennedy coverage). The New Orleans spot had been vacant since Adam Nossiter switched to West Africa in April.

It's a very good thing that they're staying there. Robertson and USA Today's Rick Jervis are the only out-of-town full-time newspaper correspondents in the city (the AP of course also has a bureau). Editor & Publisher has more on Robertson and New Orleans.
