Since 1996, Lorie Kramer has maintained a web site with content related to a variety of topics, some very controversial. Here, you will find writings, research results of investigative journalism, news, and in-person reports of significant events covered over the past 29 years. This site has never had ads or been monitized in any way since 1996, and never will do such. To God be the glory.

Read More20 years ago - Katrina Alternative Media Project at the Astrodome
On the Sunday of Labor Day weekend in September 2005, the FCC granted 3 emergency licenses to build a low-power FM station for Hurricane Katrina evacuees housed at the Astrodome. Over 20,000 people took refuge in the Astrodome and Reliant Center with limited access to information regarding status of family members and services available. I attended daily morning briefings of the Fed Joint Task Force Katrina. Government and industry officials said it was the first time they could recall that a domestic radio station had been set up primarily to keep victims of a U.S. disaster informed. The guy in the Associated Press trailer next to our Airstream told me he was jealous of us.
Despite support from the City of Houston, the Governor of Texas, the Red Cross, and other agencies, my speaking as an advocate at Houston City Council, broadcasting was delayed. The station was sponsored by the Promethius Radio Project, Houston Indy Media, and local Pacifica station KPFT. The all volunteer group of media activists were told the station could not broadcast unless they could come up with 10,000 portable radios with earphones. Undaunted, Sony was contacted and agreed to supply the radios. A local big box store donated the required batteries. Volunteers distributed the radios and KAMP began broadcasting out of a 1967 Airstream to the evacuees and anyone who could pick up the station in a 3 mile radius.
The station was successful informing those affected in the area of the news and resources they needed to get through the difficult time. Many interviews were conducted with victims of the tragedy. This ground breaking effort shows how independent media can be important in times when communication is unavailable or limited. It was an amazing experience and I was so proud to be a part of it.
