Andrea Elliott is an investigative reporter for\xa0The New York Times. Her recent book,\xa0Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival & Hope in An American City, won a Pulitzer Prize.\n\u201dI don\u2019t see reporting as a one-way street. ... I think that people need to know as much as they can about you. And yes, there are boundaries ... but at the same time, the fact of the boundaries is something to talk about with the people you\u2019re writing about.\xa0Isn\u2019t it weird that this is my job to be reporting on your life when we can laugh and we can break bread together and I spend all these hours with you and you know about my kids? ... And at the same time, I\u2019m also here to write a book. ...\xa0And those two facts I learned to just allow to coexist within me. But it was not easy.\u201d\nShow notes:\n\n@andreafelliott\n\nandrea-elliott.com\n\n\xa0Elliott on Longform\n\n00:00\xa0Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival & Hope in An American City\xa0(Random House \u2022 2021)\n\n01:00\xa0"When Dasani Left Home"\xa0(New York Times Magazine \u2022 Sept 2021)\n\n04:00\xa0"Invisible Child: Girl in the Shadows, Dasani\u2019s Homeless Life"\xa0(New York Times \u2022 Dec 2013)\n\n17:00\xa0"An Imam in America: Tending to Muslim Hearts and Islam's Future"\xa0(New York Times \u2022 Mar 2006)\n\n17:00\xa0"An Imam in America: To Lead the Faithful in a Faith Under Fire"\xa0(New York Times \u2022 Mar 2006)\n\n17:00\xa0"An Imam in America: A Muslim Leader in Brooklyn, Reconciling 2 Worlds"\xa0(New York Times \u2022 Mar 2006)\n\n17:00\xa0"An Imam in America: A Cleric\u2019s Journey Leads to a Suburban Frontier"\xa0(New York Times \u2022 Jan 2007)\n\n\nLearn more about your ad choices.
