My sister was a struggling freelance journalist at the time. This was in no way a conversation between equals. Lorenz either knew this & was exploiting it, or was unaware of it. Both are problematic. It was deeply fucked up & when my sister told the NYT editors, they didn't seem to care...

...bc Lorenz was untouchable at that point. So it seems like she has this history of thinking bc she covers internet culture or whatever that ethics are something other people are bound by. But I suspect the real reason they shitcanned her is the book tanked hard & the shine is fully gone.

Wowwwwww
