...journalists, this is standard procedure. You’re not obligated to tell the people you interview about the specific angle of your story. If you think it might alienate them, you often don’t tell, at least not at the beginning of the interview. If concealing information from a source means getting more or better information to the public, then journalists will do it—within certain bounds, of course. I could be vague; I wasn’t allowed...
...Writers are often quite different in the flesh than in their books.

...Experts say authorities need to increase monitoring of the Internet as well, as right-wing groups are increasingly turning to the Web to spread their propaganda and messages of hate, often using foreign servers to try to avoid detection. "The problem is that Germany has a stable far-right scene, made up of autonomous nationalists, former skinheads and the NPD - and they're all growing in confidence," Hajo Funke, a professor of politics at Berlin's Free University, tells TIME.
