    While many difficult interviews can be foreseen, the preparation leading up to them remains crucial and often challenging. Hostile sources can derail an interview — or avoid one altogether — if journalists are not adequately equipped for the confrontation. By attending this class, you’ll learn: – How to lay the foundation for a productive interview with a hostile source. – The strategies needed to keep a confrontational interview safe and on topic. – Ways to follow up with a hostile source to prevent unnecessary confrontation during future interviews.
