Facebook and its parent company, rebranded as "Meta," are still dealing with what's been called the worst public relations crisis the company has ever experienced. Leaked documents, internal research, and ex-employees testifying to Congress with concerns have led to accusations that Facebook puts profits over people. Today we're hearing from a different former employee who spent a decade with the company. Katie Harbath was the public policy director. She says the leaked documents, now known as the "Facebook Papers," are only part of the full story. She's giving us an inside look at the company's culture and later, weighs in on the shift to the metaverse.

It was an old-timey Western with a modern, real-life tragic ending. A crew member was shot and killed while filming the movie "Rust" in New Mexico. As we've covered here on The Newsworthy, actor Alec Baldwin fired the antique revolver that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza. Authorities say an assistant director told Baldwin the gun was "cold," meaning it didn't have any live rounds in it, before he pulled the trigger. But that wasn't the case. Investigators now say they think the gun did in fact contain live ammunition. But they're still investigating and deciding who, if anyone, should face criminal charges. To get a better idea of what may have gone wrong, and what should have happened, I'm talking with the president of the American Society of Cinematographers, Stephen Lighthill. He's also sharing his memories of Halyna Hutchins since she used to be his student at the American Film Institute. Halyna Hutchins Memorial Scholarship Fund: Donate here.
