Sadly I can't find a single television interview with Emily Cunningham or Maren Costa.

  Someone in the PR department and part of the response team just smiled in appreciation of your comment. "Job well done" they think to themselves.

    There was an interview reported Wednesday evening in a story published yesterday, but I only found this after lots of Googling and transcript searching, and it did not mention the “Tim Bray” story: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/07/technology/amazon-coronavirus-whistleblowers.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/07/technology/amazon-coronav... The only coverage I saw that mentioned their words cited a thank you tweet. The story remained on Tim Bray until the above story happened, which likely received less coverage because it was political. I don’t want to say it’s one of those “people only listen to white guys” stories but it does kind of feel that way. I found only one photo published of any of the folks who were previously laid off for said “chickensh*t” reasons and it wasn’t a nice photo. I can understand though. Tim Bray has been blogging for ages and controlled the story’s timing. He didn’t promote the tweets or work with others to make sure they were available for interviews the way, presumably, Warren’s team did. And everyone is laid off, they can’t go have professional headshots taken, covid makes any TV interview harder, nobody had B-roll or PR people to help coordinate on the side of the whistleblowers. So... it happens then that the personal stories fall through the cracks. It’s possible folks have NDAs too, of course.
