Nicole Perlroth has good tech journalist creds.
Why do you think that? I don't see any reason to believe that based on my albeit superficial search so far.. In fact though, I see oddly coincidental and potentially biased 'creds' in her LinkedIn profile, etc. ('Her 2014 Times profile of security blogger Brian Krebs has been optioned by Sony Pictures.' https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoleperlroth ).
Genuinely curious though if she is unbiased or if maybe she should be checked against.
