Episode 452: Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang
b'Sheera Frenkel and Cecilia Kang are reporters for the\\xa0New York Times. They are coauthors of\\xa0An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook\'s Battle for Domination.\\n\\u201cThere are two types of reporters. There are reporters who date and reporters who marry. I think both Cecilia and I are reporters who marry our sources and by that I mean they are lifelong sources. It\\u2019s not a relationship that you build quickly. It\\u2019s one where you have to really let them get to know you as a journalist, show them that you are always going to be honest and do what you say and protect their anonymity and that you\\u2019re not biased. I think some reporters make mistakes in that they try to curry favor with sources by writing things they think the sources will like and I think sources actually respect you more when you show them: no I am accurate and I am honest and I am objective and I\\u2019m actually going to check what you tell me so that I know it\\u2019s true and you know I am doing my homework on everything.\\u201d\\n\\nShow notes:\\n\\n@sheeraf\\n\\n@ceciliakangf\\n\\n31:30\\xa0"Delay, Deny and Deflect: How Facebook\\u2019s Leaders Fought Through Crisis"\\xa0(Sheera Frenkel, Nicholas Confessore, Cecilia Kang, Matthew Rosenberg and Jack Nicas \\u2022 New York TImes \\u2022 2018)\\n\\n\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
