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.
