Everyone wants the questions beforehand.
In school, getting the questions to a test beforehand was cheating. PR people seem to think it's quite alright to get interview questions before the interview.
What's the point of being on the phone, then?
Much more often than not, when someone asks me this question, I usually don't have the questions all lined up nice and neatly because I've got twelve other things I have to do and whatever questions I am going to ask on the phone aren't that difficult.
Still, PR flacks HAVE to ask the question, feeling they have themselves covered, but that doesn't prevent me from adding, deleting, or otherwise changing whatever questions I might have jotted down in the first place.
It's not like we're into "60 Minutes" journalism chasing people with cameras, but from the way PR people act, I wonder...
