Nepal Earthquake and Audio Lifelines
Should the ±«Óãtv’s coverage of Nepal have given greater focus to rural areas? And how ±«Óãtv Media Action's audio broadcasts are providing lifesaving information to victims.
Nepal’s capital city Kathmandu and its remote villages are starting the recovery a week on from being struck by a devastating earthquake. For some global listeners, coverage from the ±«Óãtv World Service has been informative and wide-ranging. But other listeners question why such a significant portion of the early reports focused on both Westerners in the country and climbers on Mount Everest. Senior commissioning editor Steve Titherington and Navin Singh Khadka, the ±«Óãtv World Service’s environment reporter who is from Nepal, examine the challenges of reporting from remote areas under treacherous conditions.
