9 Journalist Interview Tips from a Successful Freelance Writer

Recent highlights:

1. Before you approach your source, take the time to learn about your source and your topic, and come prepared to ask some informed questions.

2. Set the proper expectations ahead of time, either by asking for the best phone number to call them and then sending a calendar invite, or else create the video conferencing link ahead of time and include that in your calendar invite.

3. One of the most useful interview secrets I like to share is, the amount of time you spend with a source should be proportional to how much space they will get in your story.

4. But you shouldn't email sources your questions and then use their email responses as your quotes unless you absolutely must — it isn't good practice unless the source is expecting that outcome
