Most people should just not. Much like with police, your response should be “no comment” unless you have very specific reasons that you want to take the risk of interaction. You should start with the fundamental advice “Think about what YOU want out of the interview/article, and how you’ll ensure that you get it”.
People who DO want publicity or to get their message in print via such channels should do so, and your advice is useful at least in part as an indication that additional thought and perhaps professional training or deeper research is justified before undertaking such.
