In a departure from her usual practice of avoiding the press, Hillary Clinton will give an interview to CNN senior political correspondent Brianna Keilar, the network reported Monday.

The nationally televised interview, airing Tuesday, will be Clinton’s first since embarking on her 2016 presidential campaign.

The Democratic presidential candidate has kept her distance from the press. Most recently her campaign literally corralled members of the media with rope as they attempted to follow her through a Fourth of July parade in Gorham, N.H. One of the reporters involved in the incident worked for CNN.

Clinton’s conversation with Keilar will be filmed in Iowa City and will air Tuesday on CNN’s The Situation Room and later on Anderson Cooper 360.
