Most reporters consider it a breach of journalistic ethics to let sources preview stories, so don't take it personally if they refuse. When your interview is complete, ask the reporter if they know when the article might appear. They don't always know, and even if they do know, there is a chance the article might be bumped. Either way, it doesn't hurt to ask. Etiquette Be on time for the interview.
Reporters are very busy and sometimes do several interviews a day.
If the reporter is interviewing you at your home or business, be sure to give clear directions to ensure they will be on time as well. Prepare the reporter for where you will be taking them. Think beyond the office where you might conduct the interview. Assume you are on the record from the first moment you meet the reporter, even if the reporter isn't writing down or recording what you say. Don't ask to see the reporter's notes.
