What is the assignment? Preliminary Research- person
Google the name of the person you would like to interview, and the organization/cause they are affiliated with. Find information that allows you to answer the questions "why are you contacting this specific person/organization?" You want to make the person your calling feel like they are an important part of the process. You don't want them to feel like you are randomly calling, and that just anybody would do for an interview.
