For Faculty & Staff: Interviewing Tips

Find out which media outlet the reporter represents and the premise of the interview.

Get the reporter's contact information.

If you cannot help the reporter, offer another source, preferably at Xavier, but even if at another University.

As you meet the reporter offer your business card to ensure that your name and title are correct and for future reference.

Ask if the reporter knows when the story will appear and share that information with PR.
