And even if the reporter does, the audience you ultimately are attempting to reach through the media may not. Avoid hypothetical questions. Stick to the facts. Either way, you can expect basically the same type of interview. Depending on the story, the reporter also may want to call you after the interview for follow-up questions or clarifications to assure the accuracy of the story.
Some reporters like to tape record the interview, primarily in the interest of accuracy.
Don't let it rattle you. Just forget the tape recorder is there and speak naturally. You also may want to have your own tape recorder, particularly if you're discussing a controversial issue. By doing so, you have the proof if you're misquoted. If the reporter visits you on your own turf, be prepared to be photographed at some point during the interview.
