WNYC’s Gift to Bhutan

By Tricycle

Andrea Bernstein of WNYC spent a week in Bhutan, training local reporters to cover the nation’s first-ever election on March 24th. Bernstein blogged her interesting and amusing experiences here.

Hmmm, some gift. Welcome to the wonderful world of political journalism, Bhutan! A free and disinterested press is very important, of course. But there’s little enough of that on these shores when it comes to covering the current U.S. campaign.

Tricycle is the leading independent journal of Buddhism in the West, where it continues to be the most inclusive and widely read vehicle for the dissemination of Buddhist views and values. By remaining unaffiliated with any particular teacher, sect, or lineage, Tricycle provides a public forum for exploring Buddhism and its dialogue with the broader culture.
