Her students: journalists covering a new democracy

Andrea Bernstein, political director at WNYC Radio in New York, is in Bhutan this week, taking a break from U.S. campaigns to train 43 reporters -- twice as many as expected -- for coverage of the Himalayan country's first legislative elections, set for March 24. She was invited by Kinley Dorji, who founded the country's first newspaper with a Mac in the 1980s. She's reporting back in her blog.
