The party bypassed traditional media channels and exploited India's love of social media to deliver their message direct to voters. Andrea Catherwood is a former international correspondent for CNBC and ITN. In the age of the unmediated political leader she asks - what's the future for journalism in India? Prime Minister Narendra Modi has his own radio show, his own app and is among the most popular global leaders on Twitter. Meanwhile, many traditional media outlets, already struggling in a mobile first country, are dependent on the Government which is their largest advertiser.

We hear about the real dangers for journalists who speak out against the Indian government and its supporters, consider how journalists and the media landscape will fare during the next five years of Modi's premiership and discuss the current media climate with a BJP supporting Indian politician and journalist.

We’ve all been there. Pretty much every woman knows what it feels like to be "mansplained" or "manterrupted" - when a man explains something to a woman in a condescending or patronising way or cuts her off in the middle of a sentence. Lots of men do it and it is super annoying. A workers' union in Sweden has even set up a hotline for women to complain about their mansplaining colleagues. Is it really so hard for men to stop giving unsolicited advice to women? Is it a reflection of the broader issue of sexism and power dynamics? A lot of women leaders who speak up and assert themselves are often considered too aggressive. And there simply aren’t enough women at the top. In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we talk to three prominent women leaders breaking the glass ceiling in public services, the corporate world and the legal sphere. We ask them how they shut down mansplaining, and about overcoming challenges in their careers.
