Despite logistical challenges, AP has had continuous coverage in all
formats before, during and after Maria hit.
Journalists have been filing from satellite phones while outside San
Juan, and from a press center that’s been set up in the capital.
AP journalists in Florida, New York and Washington are also contributing to the coverage.
“With Danica on the ground in San Juan, we’ve been able to cover this story without interruption since before Maria hit,” said David Scott, deputy managing editor for operations. “It speaks to the value of AP’s global footprint, because getting additional staff in Puerto Rico has been a challenge. But we’ve done it, and we’ll keep doing it, because of AP’s commitment to telling this story.”
