Doorstepping, or door-stepping, is an attempt to obtain an interview, or piece to camera, from a contributor without prior arrangement or agreement, typically by confronting them in a public space, such as outside their home, workplace, or courthouse. [1] Roger Cook did this on TV in the UK for several decades. [2] Michael Crick was described as a master of the art. [3] In 2010, OFCOM introduced guidelines on doorstepping in the UK. [4]
