+Questions to Ask Before Agreeing to the Interview
What news organization are you with?
Can you tell me about the story you’re working on?
Are you approaching this story from a particular perspective?
Who else are you interviewing?
May I provide you with additional background information?
What’s the format?
Who will be doing the interview?
When are you publishing or airing the story?

+Are We All Speaking the Same Language?
Off the Record—Information shared with the journalist cannot be used in a news story and is only meant to help the journalist develop a more complete understanding of the facts.
On the Record—Unless you agree otherwise, assume everything you say is on the record.
On Background—Information provided by the source can be used, but the source cannot be named or quoted.
Not for Attribution—The information provided may be used and the spokesperson may be quoted, but not by name.

+The Art of The Sound Bite
Use wording that fits the knowledge, attitudes and mindset of your audience.
Consider the tone and personality you want to convey.
Beware of double meaning—communicate what you mean to say.
Be sure your sound bite is able to stand on its own.
Create a message that is pronounceable and has a nice ring to it.

What our research shows is…
