On the election road with Newslaundry.
Manisha Pande and Atul Chaurasia catch up with journalism students at Himachal University. They talk about the issues they reckon are important this election — infrastructure, employment opportunities, healthcare, good roads, lack of infrastructure in hospitals.
They also talk about the lack of teachers in schools and why English is an aspirational language, the state of current media, their favourite anchors, and why they want journalists to be neither too left nor too right.
