Questions to ask...

...when some blogger that you don't know from Adam asks to interview you.

Mostly asked by The Union's new editor, which gives us a modicum* of hope.

• What is your background?
  
• What is the mission of your blog?
  
• Do you have written policies that you share with your readers?
  
• What is your policy on editing the answers to interview questions?
  
• Will the answers be used in different ways in the future as you see fit?
  
• What is your corrections policy?
  
• What is your disclosure policy?
  
• Do you allow comments on your weblog?
  
  • If so, what are your standards for commenters?
    
  • If not, why not?

Not recommended:

• How many readers do you have?
  Please, this is like asking a man...uh...never mind
  
• Do you strive to seek balance with the issues you provide commentary on?
  Not if we want to inform our readers, we don't. Links yes, fairness yes, false equivalence no.
  

* a modicum is roughly the size of a large iota.
