That's an interesting idea. How would you get a candidate to agree to an anonymous interview though? EDIT: One way to take the pressure off is to tell the candidate, your interviewer will be one of these people but we won't tell you which one. However, I think they truly value the ability to retaliate so that is probably not enough. EDIT 2: Also, anonymizing journalists deprives them of the credit they'd get from a tough interview. While I imagine many would participate out of civic duty, they'd really like to be able to get (timely) credit without being retaliated against.

>How would you get a candidate to agree to an anonymous interview though? Don't tell them it will be anonymous :) Just kidding. Sell it as a new format that is more likely to get at real answers and pick some candidates that aren't afraid of that. Let them tout their willingness as an indicator of integrity and question their rivals. Have a group of some of the best journalists in the business behind the curtain...as long as there are enough of them their anonymity is secure. If they want to claim a question, let them. It wouldn't be hard. Have their home network have a envelope of the wording of the question that they can reveal in real time.
