Eve Troeh

Eve Troeh was WWNO's first-ever News Director, hired to start the local news department in 2013. She left WWNO in 2017 to serve as Sustainability Editor at Marketplace. 

  • Myra Engrum works, cares for her son, has friends and is active in church. She's done things "right." But for the second time in 11 years, she's picking up the pieces of her storm-ravaged life.
  • Nagin has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison. His corruption case involves the trading of city contracts and favors for cash and kickbacks. He left office in 2010 and was indicted in 2013.
  • A young woman has died following last weekend's shoot-out on a busy part of Bourbon Street in New Orleans. Nine other passers-by were wounded by the gunfire.
  • Residents say the phrase "Who Dat" is part and parcel of New Orleans culture. The chant opens Saints football games, and "Who Dat" can now be found on T-shirts and storefronts throughout the city. But a Texas company says it owns the ubiquitous phrase — and recently filed a lawsuit to stake its claim.
  • BP is fighting the settlement it agreed to last summer that let the oil company avoid thousands of potential lawsuits over the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill. BP now says the claim process is corrupt and wants to stop all the money flowing from its claims fund.
  • The Prospect 1 New Orleans project is slated to open in November. Dan Cameron, the director of the Contemporary Arts Center, aims to create a citywide, international art event akin to the Venice Bienanle. He sees it as a promotional and healing tool for the city.
  • Moviemaking is an important part of Louisiana's economy and has continued to expand, undeterred by last year's hurricanes. The state has even begun positioning itself as the "Hollywood of the South."
  • Officials in New Orleans plan to demolish four public housing projects -- and build mixed-income developments. It's part of an effort to make sure poverty is not concentrated in a rebuilt New Orleans. But many public housing residents are not pleased.
  • A new video game aims to teach kids about non-violent solutions to conflict. Eve Troeh reports that the game's creator has plenty of experience — he was a leader of Serbian student protests that helped to bring down dictator Slobodan Milosevic in 2000.
  • Gray Line Tours is featuring a new tour in New Orleans, but it's not a fun-filled night on Bourbon Street. The tour company is busing sightseers to parts of the city devastated by Hurricane Katrina, including the spot where a key levee broke and the flooding began. Not everyone is happy about it.
