On this episode, Cyrus is joined by Manisha Pande, Executive Editor at Newslaundry and the Writer/Anchor of their TV Newsance series. Manisha and Cyrus talk about when she knew she wanted to be a journalist, going to college in Chandigarh, being bothered by the fact that Indian media doesn't question itself, working for DNA India during the 2014 general elections, politicians and their sex appeal, and tons more. Plus, how working at Newslaundry came about for her and what drove her to make the shift, how reporting on the media industry as a whole and holding the media accountable has changed in the last few years eventhough there's still a ways to go. Also, Cyrus and Manisha answer some AMA questions sent in by listeners, so don't miss those.
