Just how do you deal with sources who show no interest to speak to you, and then later get back to you after the story is published?

In this podcast, host Winston Mwale speaks to JOSHUA VISSERS, Associate Editor of the Mining Gazette, a US online publication, about his story “Residents of Cole’s Creek Road left out to dry." 

The residents are accusing the the Houghton County Road Commission for cutting off their water supply with no warning, but HCRC says they did nothing wrong. When Joshua was gathering facts of the story, some sources declined to speak to him, but later accused him of “leaving out some facts."

So, how did Joshua go about it? Above all, how did he learn about the story itself? Take a listen.
