there is a pleasant ploy, along these lines:
freelance journalist rings up famous person A (or rather A's agent) and
says ``I'd like to interview you for The Times'', and
having obtained agreement (which was likely, The Times being at the time
suitably august), rings up The Times to ask ``Would The Times
like an interview with famous person A?''.

it can't work as well as it once might have done, because of Google(tm):
A's agent almost invariably googles journalist's name to see whether
they are indeed a staff writer as implied and what sort of
writing they do.
