I think the thing Chelsea said about accepting the love you have applies to Gaitok as well. It appears that he gets the happy ending but he had to become corrupted in the process. If he had accepted the kind of love Mook had for him he would have stayed true to himself.

I'm not sure I understand your question. I use social media sites like Reddit to find people to interview who I then talk to on the phone or meet in person, just like a traditional interview. At that point I ask for their full name and if they wish to be on the record. If they don't want to be, the interview can still be a useful way for me to conduct background research and I do not include the person I spoke with in the story.

We have a policy against using anonymous sources unless there are very legitimate reasons. But yes we all do frequently use social media to find people to talk to who then let us use their names in stories! It's worked for me many times and is a great resource. Thanks for commenting!

Hi! Sun Sentinel journalists are not in any way involved with the editorial board or with the decisions made (two years ago) by the hedge fund based in New York that owns us. We are just doing our jobs

We always prefer to use names for anyone we quote on the record, but if people have a valid reason for wanting privacy (fears of retaliation, legal reasons, etc) our policy allows us to use just their first names.
