Catalan Referendum: Media, politics and independence (video)

Catalan Referendum: Media, politics and independence
For the second week in a row, we're taking a look at the media coverage in the aftermath of the independence referendum in Catalonia, where hundreds of would-be voters were injured by police trying to stop an electoral process that the Spanish government deemed unconstitutional.
