You make your first call, and as the reporter starts to ask detailed questions, you realize that you don’t know what information has been cleared for release. You answer the question in vague terms, which clearly frustrates the reporter. After you hang up, another call comes in from a competing news agency.

Listen to the reporter’s call.
