Reporting advice

My general advice would be to be open to questions that come up during the interview, and very often the best question to ask is "Why?" Look for why questions, when possible. They lead you to even better interviews, better stories.

Another question: Tell me about where you were when you discovered X. Get them to give you details before some big event occurred.

Ask your sources if they know other people they recommend that you talk to.

Last question: Are there other questions that you think need to be asked? Or ask: What else should people know about this?
