1. Trust is essential
2. Having a strong protagonist or good enough report with the protagonist to make them 'come alive' is crucial
3. Pieces change their focus, have a life of their own
4. The context of the piece is important - more scandalous, 'great' but unrelated incidents, sound bites
5. Technical problems always arise and its vital to have a good understanding of the equipment to work around them
6. Approaching people personally is much more beneficial to your piece than over the phone communication
7. A definite plan is vital, especially with protagonists with busy schedules
8. Sensitive issues need to be worked around, dealt with appropriately
