Money in politics, abuse of public dollars, government ineptitude – all are favorite topics for investigative reporters, bloggers and editors. But what if one of your clients is the target of an investigation?

John Christie and Naomi Schalit from the Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting will provide you with tips and anecdotes about what not to do, and what you should do, when responding to inquiries on stories you don’t want to tell.
