[cr-india] Women in Radio Facebook group for women community radio broadcasters in India

[geeta seshu]

Congatulations! This is a superb initiative and all support for it.

I'm sharing with the Network of Women in Media, India (NWMI), which has a
huge number of print, broadcast (and now internet) journalists as members.

regards,

geeta
