Behind The Lens episode 75: Business matters

This week on the podcast:

• New Orleans’ tourism economy is on hold and the Convention Center is being used as a makeshift hospital. But that’s not stopping center management from pursuing a controversial new hotel development.
• We’ll get a sense of the economic damage from COVID-19 with Jan Moller of the Louisiana Budget Project.
• The pandemic also has put graduation on hold for high school seniors. What options do they have?
• Later, we’ll hear from hard-hit Oakdale Correctional Center, a federal facility in Louisiana.
• And we’ll hear about concerns in Cancer Alley about the pandemic in an interview with journalist Julie Dermansky.
