Interview strategy
Once you have targeted (and envisioned) your audience, your goal is to exercise control over the nature and scope of the interview.
You want to :
- avoid sidetracks ;
- get your message across ;
- stay in control of your answers ;
- have the reporter respond to your agenda.
In order to do that :
…wedge your answers ;
…bridge away from troublesome tangents over to your agenda ;
…deflect hostile or persistent questioning.
