Late-breaking news stories can "bump" scheduled stories to later dates or indefinitely. When information you provided does not appear on the show, don’t assume that Jeff has dismissed the interview.
Jeff's basic purposes in an interview are to:
- Gain understanding of issues.
- Collect relevant facts.
- Obtain quotes from reputable sources.
- Balance opposing views.
- Most important is to HAVE FUN! This is not an interrogation but a conversation so have a good time with it!
Contrary to common perceptions, most interviews are not "investigative" in nature. Reporters are trained to gather news quickly and accurately by conducting interviews with expert sources like you. However, their initial questions may not always convey the true nature of the interview; therefore never take a call cold. Always find out the nature of the interview before you agree to do it.
Reporters are human and can have preconceived notions about the topics they are covering. They also may be seeking quotes that support specific conclusions. If you find yourself pressed to give quotes you don’t agree with, make a case for your viewpoint. If the reporter doesn't seem persuaded, decline to be quoted. The most important goal in an interview is not to be quoted; it’s to get your messages across.
