FYI: Keeping Informed If You Lose Power During Sandy
Poynter, Monday, October 29, 2012 1:28 PM
Charge your cell phone now, and even if you lose power, you can still track Hurricane Sandy on your phone via The Weather Channel, which is live-streaming its coverage so people "can keep up with
the news on their mobile devices," writes David Bauder.
And the New York Times has suspended
its paywall for all apps and its website for the duration, so you can read up on the storm and/or any other topic for distraction. The Wall Street Journal, Newsday and The Baltimore
Sun are also freeing up website content, while the Boston Globe's storm coverage will be available gratis on boston.com. For info on smaller papers, check out this post on Poynter.
