TV-Paper Partnership A Winner in NOLA

By: Diana Marszalek | TV NewsCheck

New Orleans investigative reporters Lee Zurik and Manuel Torres knew each other only as rivals until a year or so ago, when they got the word to partner on a big-league project.

Zurik works for WVUE, the Louisiana Media Co.-owned Fox affiliate, a TV guy who has won a multitude of prestigious awards for his work. Torres is NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune’s enterprise editor, a print journalist committed to doing reporting “of importance and consequence to affect change.”
