My experience is that the 'reporter' is just trying to get information AND ideas, that he wouldn't think of. It is not so much as to use you for an 'INTERVIEW'. They look SMART when they come up with the many more ideas, that float around here.

After a couple of experiences, I try to get information from them as to how the information will be used, if I do respond. After all, it will make them look better. I doubt if you or anyone will collect one red cent from them!

I have done many TV and radio programs and articles for magazines, newspapers, etc. The tabloids will misquote you and attribute potentially libelous statements to you without even a blink! Watch out!
