Document Summary
The big problem with press conferences is pack journalism. If possible, get your own interviews after the press conference. Interview relevant people in the room who did not speak. Call relevant people who were not present (for reaction, response) You can record, but always take notes by hand. Listen not only for what the speaker says, but for what they do not say. Build on the questions of others; follow up with related questions. To challenge a statement (based on other known facts) Usually questions should be simple and precise. But it is okay to be direct or even blunt.
