Alfred Friendly Press Partners alumnus Gulam Jeelani produced two short documentaries for News9 Plus, one about India's preparation of a rocket force and another about the move to machine voting for migrant workers presspartners.org/alumnus-at…

@someshjha7 explained why the rich get richer during a global economic downturn. And @JodyReporta delved into a diplomatic dispute concerning a Colombian minister who led a Guatemalan corruption inquiry.
