Sorry, it's a *different* Times-Picayune. But very well deserved.
NEW YORK How often does an entire newspaper receive an honorary degree? The Times-Picayune of New Orleans, La. soon will. The Web site of Loyola University New Orleans posted a release naming the recipients for this year's commencement, set for this weekend. Among them, "The Times-Picayune for heroic service to the city and region during and after Hurricane Katrina," the release states. Others receiving such honors are music legend and civil rights activist Julian Bond; musician and educator Ellis Marsalis, Jr.; New Orleans artist John T. Scott; and the advocacy and volunteer group The Women of the Storm.
