I have a weird idea that you're not supposed to promise anything to someone you've interviewed for an article at the end of the interview. I always say something like "I'll send you a link to my story." I do that even if I don't really intend on sending a link or secretly hope the subject never sees the finished product*.
1) Why do I feel obligated to give these people anything?
2) Why do I feel obligated to deny that sense of obligation?
*N.B. There are like three "finished products" in existence, encompassing no more than seven subjects. One of which breaks other rules of journalism. So I'm not good at any of this either way. :P
