The New York Times' Learning Network features an "Ask a Reporter" section. Students can submit questions that could be published on the site with a brief response from the journalist. The reporter answering the questions rotates, so sometimes you ask a sports reporter and other times a features writer. 

This could be helpful if you come up with a question beyond the typical, "What's it like being a reporter?"  Ask instead what time they go to work in the morning and what time they leave; or whether most of their stories are assigned and if so what that process is like; or how they approach a busy professional about an interview. Be creative and specific and you'll get creative and specific responses.
