may not really have thought about.

Save your toughest questions for last
This enables time to build trust with your interview subject
![Page 13: - a focussed exchange of questions and answers with the objective of acquiring information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649ccd5503460f9499825e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Tough, specific questions first
Use if you have little time
Use if you need to nail down an answer
![Page 14: - a focussed exchange of questions and answers with the objective of acquiring information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649ccd5503460f9499825e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Gain trust of the subject Honesty and empathy almost always work Address the subject by name in practically
every sentence Eye contact
GOAL: Make the interviewee relax and really TALK instead of just answering
questions
![Page 16: - a focussed exchange of questions and answers with the objective of acquiring information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649ccd5503460f9499825e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Anticipate answers as part of your plan Be alert for intentional drifters -
interviewees who deliberately change the focus of a question ("I'm still wondering about the original question..." , "You didn't answer the question.“)
Know when and how to interrupt to keep the subject from rambling
Make sure that your key questions are answered
Ask follow-up questions
![Page 17: - a focussed exchange of questions and answers with the objective of acquiring information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649ccd5503460f9499825e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

First question should be friendly and easy
Ask critical questions after you’ve established a rapport
If you don’t get a direct answer, ask later in different words
Politeness allows you to ask hard-nosed questions without being rude

Who What When Where Why How

Blame someone else for the question Imply that the question is a playful one Preface the question with some praise. Use separate, apparently disconnected
questions Ask the question in a matter-of-fact
manner, no matter how sensible the area.

Specify the amount of time you will need Create a good first impression – it‘s
critical When meeting someone for the first
time, it’s better to be a little formal at the outset. Never be familiar
The good interviewer listens carefully, but not passively
Have a conversation
![Page 28: - a focussed exchange of questions and answers with the objective of acquiring information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649ccd5503460f9499825e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Don't be fixated on your notebook Don’t gaze at your watch showing that
you’re in a rush (if you are not) Don’t interrupt when the subject is
talking Don't try to shout down someone or get
defensive Stupidity is a reporter’s greatest asset.
So, don’t be afraid to say: “I don’t understand”
![Page 29: - a focussed exchange of questions and answers with the objective of acquiring information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649ccd5503460f9499825e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
“One final question…” “Is there anything you think important
which I haven’t asked?” “Who else should I speak to about this
topic?” “Thanks for giving me your time and
some great quotes”. Make sure you can contact the
interviewee later

Double-check the information
Statistics are often manipulated - be prepared to confirm all statistics with
an independent source
Keep in touch – like wine, a good source improves with age and occasional care.

Title: InterviewsMembers: Individual (in most cases help will be needed from one other person to film)
Time allocated: (8) minutes (video clip)
Grade: 15%
![Page 34: - a focussed exchange of questions and answers with the objective of acquiring information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649ccd5503460f9499825e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Description of task: You are taking on the role of a roving reporter. Your task is to find someone in the local community that you consider influential and important (this should not be your best friend or a fellow student).
You should think about an issue or topic you would like to discuss with them.
You should first design a number of questions which will uncover interesting and informative information on your chosen issue or topic.
![Page 35: - a focussed exchange of questions and answers with the objective of acquiring information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649ccd5503460f9499825e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
You should then arrange an interview with them making sure they are aware you will be filming the interview.
You will film the interview which will last 6 to 8 minutes long and present it in class. This means you must record your interview and bring it on a USB stick ready to show in class. This is not a live interview – you cannot bring in your person!
Check your equipment before coming to class – if the sound does not work or the picture is distorted you will lose points.
![Page 36: - a focussed exchange of questions and answers with the objective of acquiring information](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649ccd5503460f9499825e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Make sure you are creative, taking your direction from real reporters on the news, daily shows, documentaries and any other examples you come across in the media.
