Angela Chen is the best! And this is a great reminder to read "Strangers Drowning," which has been sitting on my bookshelf for a while.

I always learn so much for these Q&As. I really like hearing how Han brings up this concern about painting a subject in an unflattering light and the point about if one does omit important information, how this can be a betrayal of journalism. Also adding "Strangers Drowning," to my reading list!
