This episode we talk to reporters Tomas Statius and Elena DeBre about getting sources to talk.
We cover:

How to cultivate sources
Three techniques on getting sources to talk
Tips for new reporters

We talk about all this in the context of two of our latest investigations – the False Promises of Biometrics, that relied solely on source-based evidence to uncover a string of failed mega-deals that benefited DRC elites & left ordinary people with no proof of ID. And Poison PR, which exposed a US government funded campaign from a PR company to profile and target people trying to sound the alarm about the harms of pesticides and GMOs.
