All-women channel a hit in Bihar village
Muzaffarpur: In a state where beating up and killing of women after branding them as witches is common, an all-women “news channel” is creating waves in the rural backwaters of Bihar.
“Appan Samachar” (Our News), an all-women weekly news programme, is a hit in Ramlila Gachhi and its adjoining villages in Paru Block of Muzaffarpur District ever since its launch last month.
Unlike flashy studios of private news channels, its rural cousin works from an asbestos-roofed room having a wooden table, two chairs and a portable TV. Its reporters, Ruby Kumari and Anita Kumari (both 20), move around Ramlila Gachhi and its adjoining villages six days a week carrying a Sony handy cam, a tripod and a microphone in hand to gather news. Later, they show a 45-minute bulletin on the TV using a video cassette player powered by a battery, at the weekly fair in the village. The village has no electricity, no landline phone connections .- PTI
