Honestly... I would guess news crews avoided the area so they wouldn't accidentally show dead bodies. The news has a policy of not discussing dead people's names in the U.S. until families have been contacted, and I suspect that extends to showing pictures of the dead. There have been a couple scattered pictures of Galveston online (beyond the seawall, there have been lots on Yahoo news from within the seawall) Aside from helicopters, there also probably hasn't been a good way to get in and out of the area either.
You can comb through pics tagged "Galveston" on Flickr posted since the 13th though.
