All political journalism, to some degree, depends on access to people in power, which involves a tradeoff. Leaning too heavily on access necessarily results in self-censorship while writing what people in power don't want to hear will limit your opportunities to ask them the tough questions. In this workshop, Jeremy Appel, author of Kenneyism: Jason Kenney's Pursuit of Power, explains how to tell the story when the main people involved won't pick up your calls.
