What makes an Interview GOOD?

One of the foundations of good journalism----of good storytelling, really---- is being able to get the right information to the right audience.  For us, this often happens in the form of an interview.  But....how do you make sure an interview is GOOD---that is:

How do you prepare for and conduct an interview to get the right information for your audience?

There are several ways to discover the answer to this question, and we are going to explore them ALL.  The first is through a team reading assignment.  You and a partner will grab 1 copy of the Reading Questions and your RED textbooks, and work together to answer the  13 questions on the handout.

After we're done, we'll watch a couple of training videos (for you visual learners like me!), look at some basic interview setups, create a mock-up interview and critique, and then practice in teams.

In the meantime, you need to identify a subject that you'd like to interview, and go schedule an interview with them---either during this class, lunch, or after school.  That will go on our calendar.
