[Ipg-smz] Phone interview question

[Mitch Wagner]

Not for me. However, I'll use "tells Light Reading" to differentiated from
press releases/blog posts/tweets/statements at press conferences. I.e. they
told it to us in an individual interview, we're not relying on a  broadcast
statement here. Some of my colleagues say "said in an interview."
