Listen "Multimedia story grantees: Reporting from the ground"
Episode Synopsis
In September 2020, IIT Guwahati with support from the Third Pole, invited journalists based in Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, and India to support in-depth stories on the ecology and the socio-economic conditions of the transboundary Brahmaputra River basin, with a focus on vulnerable communities and regional cooperation, aimed at helping policymakers and the communities to make better decisions. A year later, during this conversation three of the grantees will be sharing their experiences from the past year, the lessons they have learnt in the process, and the insights they have drawn for future studies.
