The Brown Daily Herald has an excellent story about the Brown grad who's started an NPR-like news blog in India, with the help of Watson Institute visiting fellow Christopher Lydon:
"I was not interested with hits or how many shows we could produce," Richard said.
Rather, Richard said he focused on "finding the right people to produce exceptional radio content"
The project is on hold now as Richards looks for funding the US, but the BDH points out that he seems to have discovered a real niche for locally-produced news in India. This is an organization worth keeping an eye on.
