Ethics Statement
Here is a statement of my ethics and coverage policies. It is more than most of you want to know, but, in the age of suspicion of the media, I am laying it all out. I own no stocks, technology-related or otherwise, beyond those managed by my retirement program. I was a Girl Scout for many years and continue, in my life and in my work, to follow a bowdlerized version of the Girl Scout Law, crossed with the Hippocratic oath: Be honest and fair, be responsible, and do no harm.

My work has total editorial independence from Vox's investors, even when they touch on products and services these companies produce, compete with, or invest in.
