Being interviewed by a print journalist is usually, though not always, a slightly more relaxed and less terrifying experience than being thrown into the broadcast world.
For a print article, you might have some choice in where you want to be interviewed. The journalist’s deadline is likely to be a little less frantic than for radio and TV. You should have the opportunity to explain yourself in more detail. The journalist will be able to transform and condense your message, and will usually go over what you have said to make sure it has come out right.
But it’s still important to keep control of the situation, make sure you are not miss-quoted, and to understand what the article’s ultimate message will be.
