Reality of Journalism in Chhattisgarh

While speaking to Newsclick, Avesh Tiwari, a journalist from Chhattisgarh, said that the news from the state usually revolves around skirmishes between the armed forces and the Naxals. That's all the state has been reduced to. However, Chhattisgarh is an important state when it comes to biodiversity and natural(?) resources. It's a state that deserves importance for its social economic reality. Its ground reality is quite complicated. More the interference of the government, more it is by the officials. The state suffers a lethal combination of these two. To know and understand these realities, the interaction between a journalist and the people is crucial.
