Investigative reporting often includes winning the trust of reluctant sources, protecting the privacy of families and anonymity of whistleblowers, and probing topics that are uncomfortable or emotional. Martha Rosenberg shares useful and surprising tips learned from years of interviewing medical professionals, whistleblowers, government officials, food workers, and families of injured patients.
