Carreyou had won two Pulitzers before he started reporting on Theranos. He was a successful professional. His reporting was so notable it became part of the story of Theranos. His first story on Theranos was published 3 years before the book. I'm pretty sure the book only exists because of the quality of the reporting. The reporting was not in service of the book.
- tptacek 4y agoThat's doubly true, because without the reporting, it's possible Theranos would still be around, or would have been quietly acquired. People forget how integral Carryrou was to the whole story.
- dmix 4y agoStill it's probably more likely Lewis cared more about documenting another unique business success story than really understanding his subject matter. Which is far more likely than him purposefully ignoring a negative angle (not that I think you're suggesting otherwise, but the Sequia bit might be taken that way).
