Sherwin delves into the meaning of "trust" and how it is cultivated between journalists and their sources, while also unpacking the crucial concept of "off the record"—what it means, why it matters, and how these boundaries shape responsible reporting. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the intersection of media, security, and ethics in a rapidly changing world.
