Very practical and informative book, applicable even in daily life to improve interpersonal relations.

[Randee Dawn · Rating 5 out of 5]

After a disastrous interview early in my journalism career, I was floundering about how to deal with difficult subjects and how to get to the meat of what I was looking to find out. McLaughlin totally aved me: He has easy-to-understand suggestions, practical walkthroughs and gets to the underlying reason of the role of the interviewer. Absolutely recommend this book.

Explains in detail the process of the media interview, covers differences between print and broadcast. Written for journalists but equally useful to sources.
