Not surprisingly, many of our Interviewing subscribers and TMT clients fear the possibility of being confronted by an ambush interview. And that typically raises the related question of how they can control a news interview.

Ambush Interviews: More Likely Than You May Think!

In this TMT Solution, TMT’s Eric Seidel tells you what you really can control and how it works to your advantage.
