The Times-Picayune | The New Orleans Advocate

The Times-Picayune is a historic American newspaper that has been serving New Orleans, Louisiana, since January 25, 1837. It was formed from the merger of The Picayune and the Times-Democrat in 1914. For many years, it was published daily until October 2012, when it shifted to a schedule of Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday editions. However, due to stiff competition from The Advocate's New Orleans edition, which aimed to capitalize on the reduced publishing frequency, the Times-Picayune returned to daily publication in 2014. The newspaper, along with the NOLA.com website, operates under the NOLA Media Group, which is part of Advance Publications and its subsidiary, Advance Local. In May 2019, the paper was sold to the owners of The Advocate, leading to the termination of its entire staff.

Faulty plumbing work dating to the construction of the decade-old Orleans Parish jail caused recent – and ongoing – pipe leaks that caused the facility to flood last week, the Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office revealed Thursday. Contractors hired by the sheriff to assess the problem told City Council members that they've identified 16 pipe leaks at the jail, and that more are possible. They said the issue came about because the pipes hadn't been properly fitted when they were installed.
