Journalism and "the world's biggest exercise in democracy"

A group of Indian students at Columbia University here has launched a website focused exclusively on India's upcoming general elections, promising to provide a comprehensive and "no high-brow and jargon-led" reportage of the event.
The 'FiveFortyFive.Com' is a "single-subject website" focusing on the Indian general elections founded by six Columbia journalism school students.
By the way, Vikram, does this seem patronizing...or just young and idealistic...or both?  I would think it's not like India doesn't have brilliant coverage by experienced journalists.

    Hi Julie, sorry for coming late to this. yes indeed, we are stuffed solid with analysis of the upcoming elections, but I wouldnt go as far as to call these young journos inexperienced. One of them in fact, worked at my erstwhile employer and I know he writes insightfully.
