Welcome to DrumBeats, the electronic home of The Drum, bringing community news from Ponchatoula to Baton Rouge.
As you know, Hurricane Ida tore through the state and significantly damaged our parish. Citywide, we have started the long process of rebuilding. For The Drum, rebuilding means re-imaging ways to publish and distribute the news you have come to expect. This begins with the newsletter you are reading now: DrumBeats.
Through these DrumBeats, The Drum staff delivers thoughtful reporting and local features to your inbox, while breaking news, event announcements, and DrumRolls are continuously shared on social media @theDrumNews.
