Congratulations On Scoring That Big Interview

I appreciate that it isn't precisely the same as just letting your network/show's interview subjects write down the name on a piece of paper, but how, exactly, do we think journalists often score those big interviews?

The broader system of access journalism does not provide incentives for tough scrutiny by the Names, the star journalists.

Maybe 60 Minutes was, for various reasons, more unlike that than other outlets, but it probably didn't seem weird to Bari at all to do that!
