This talk with Sara was really great.. it's kind of weird how you create these friendships with people based on the internet, working for the same international company, and having one lunch together in NYC 4 yrs ago. Sara's ability to navigate high pressure situations and also get the best out of content is second to none. I think the thing that I found most jarring, and that has made me really think about our conversation since, was when she used the analogy of homelessness for where we are now in the disinformation world. It is a perfect (and depressing) analogy that, if homelessness were first reported on in 2021, we'd have half of the media reporting that it didn't actually exist -- rather than how to fix it.
What did you like about the interview? Any questions you wish I had asked? (I can message her and find out maybe!!!)

Super interesting Annie! Which outlets do you think of when you talk about "misleading and untrustworthy news"?
