Reporters Without Orders Ep 109: COVID-19, migrant exodus, and more

In this episode, host Snigdha Sharma is joined by Newslaundry’s Ayush Tiwari, Hameeda Syed and Basant Kumar. The panel, through the length of the podcast, discuss several aspects of the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. While Hameeda talks about her report on how the pandemic might pan out, based on her conversation with Indian experts, Ayush and Basant describe the multitude of hardships faced by migrant workers attempting to return to their native states due to lack of planning by the government.

This and a lot more as they talk about what made news, what didn’t, and what shouldn’t have.

Tune in!
