It’s absolutely brilliant to see #asequals go from strength to strength. @ElizaTalks @Ladan_Anoushfar showed off some of the work @TbilisiZeg and explained how they go deeper to get to the heart of every story. Gender reporting at its best.

Brilliant achievement by @isocockerell and the whole @CodaStory team. Congratulations! It's a rightful recognition of a well researched and delivered story. If you haven't already - it's well worth a listen.
