Hey, Victoria.

Your nuanced piece

brands OTR as charitable,

Hello, New York.
If you're a fan of "Incite,"

then you've probably heard
of Jane Sloan,

best known for her apology
to OTR's Emma Cox

that went viral.
Now, Jane is here

to set the record straight
in her own words.

- Thank you for having me.
- We have a full slate,

so let's get right to it.
You wrote an article

on Emma Cox, which,

according to your now
very public apology,

was heavily edited.

So what happened?

Is "Incite"
fabricating their stories?

- No.

"Incite" is a hard-hitting,
factually accurate news outlet.

She misrepresented her company
as a charitable organization,

and "Incite" readers deserve
to hear that story

as much as anything else.

- Even though it caused her

to lose funding
for her company?

- I allowed myself to get
too personally invested

in Emma Cox.

- Hmm. I'm sure there are a lot

of aspiring journalists
watching right now

who appreciate your candor.

Well, there you have it.
Setting the record straight,

that's Jane Sloan.
We'll be right back

to meet New York's--
- I'm sorry,

if I could just say...

Um...

I do think that Emma Cox

is making great strides
for women.

She is revolutionizing
feminine hygiene.

Her cups are eco-friendly
and affordable.

- Okay, are--
are you saying--

- I'm saying
that she made one mistake:

not recognizing
the sanitary conditions

needed for her product.

But people make mistakes.

And if they're good people,
they course-correct.

Which Emma did, when she made
new disposable cups

for less optimal conditions.

- So, "Incite"
was factually inaccurate.

- I think that
we're all so quick

to take each other down,

to find someone to blame.

"Incite" is not all right
or all wrong,

just like Emma Cox
is not all good

or all bad.

And when we
sensationalize people

for the purpose
of getting more eyes

on a story,
that story gets lost.

- Okay, then.

Something for all of us
to think about.

Thank you for coming.
- Thank you.

- We'll be right back.

- And, we're clear.

- That was great.

You're on display.
You're being judged.

- I don't know about that.

- It's not a good feeling.

- Red!

What the hell
is going on?

Okay, you can't take
simple measurements,

you can't fix a guy's tie,

and that guy looks
more uncomfortable now

than when I asked you
to talk to him.

- Oliver.
Let me handle this.

♪

- Um...

some of the assistants
found out

about me and Alex.

- And you went through
the proper HR channel, so...

- No, I know.
We're not together.

Not since you caught us
in the stairwell.

- Oh.

Okay, um...

so what's the problem?

- When the assistants
found out,

they started to talk
about Alex giving me

preferential treatment.

That's not why
I was getting the assignments.

I know that.
- No, of course not.

- But then Oliver assigned me
this photo shoot.

He could have picked anybody,

and he chose me
because he thinks

that I work well with men.

I felt people in the office
judging me for that.

And I started
to second-guess

how I carry myself,
and how I...

use my sexuality--
- Sutton.

You are a people person.

And men are people.

- It's that simple.

- It's just with everything
that's been going on lately--

- Yes, it is undoubtedly...

a very complicated time
for men and women

in the workplace.

I mean, as stories continue
to come out,

we're all checking ourselves,
but we cannot lose sight

of who we truly are.

And we cannot dim our light
that makes us special.

You have a magnetic
personality, Sutton.

That is a good thing.

Don't let anybody
tell you otherwise.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Now, you get back out there,

and make that person--

- Photogenic, please.

- I'm on it.

♪

Okay, Ben.
You want to finish this up,

I'm here to help you
make that happen.

Let's talk, just me and you.
- Okay.

- Okay.

Question number one:

why are you doing this?

- It's good press
for the clinic.

- Mm-hmm.
So is taking out an ad.

What are you not telling me?

Did you lose a bet?

- I don't gamble.

- But if you must know,
I have a list of things

that make me uncomfortable.
- A list.

So what,
like a reverse bucket list?

- Mm-hmm.
Being photographed

is one of them.
- Okay.

So you enjoy
being uncomfortable.

- No, I hate it.

- But it reminds me
that I'm alive, so...

That sounds terrible.

- Yes!

That is so weird.

I'm just kidding.

- That's it.
All right.

Got it. Next.

- Thanks for meeting me.
- Of course.

Everything okay?

- Yeah.

Yep.

- Why are we...

so against
labeling ourselves?

- Uh, well,
I guess it's because

your mother and I,
we feel that, um,

it's what's on the inside
that matters.

- Right, but...

I kind of think
it's more than that.

The other night,
you asked me...

about Adena's parents.

So what about
your parents, Dad?

I mean I know everything
about grandma and grandpa.

But...

I don't know anything
about Dad's side

of the family.

So why is that?

♪

- My childhood
was a lot different

from yours, Kat.

I grew up with blacks
on one side of the city

and whites on the other.

The label of race?

We didn't want that for you.

And I don't think
we did such a bad job.

- You're confident.
You're successful.

- Everything you guys
are saying...

kind of just feels like
a way to avoid

really talking about it,
and I'm trying

to understand why.

- Maybe it's my fault.

♪

When you were little,

and I would take you
to the park,

people assumed
you weren't biologically mine.

♪

Maybe I avoided labels

because I just wanted
to be your mom.

I didn't want to be
your white mom.

- Sweetheart...

if we ever made you feel

that you cannot take ownership
