For those messaging in support, asking what they can do to help after the govt told us to take down our cover story on torture & murder in poonch:
a) subscribe, it helps us report stories that matter.
b) buy a newsstand copy of the current print issue, which carries the story.
For NPR, I wrote about the often rocky lives of the women seaweed harvesters in India's Pamban Island, and the many challenges they face. I'm very grateful to the folks @pulitzercenter whose unstinting support helped me report in this remote area.
