1. Explain the essential role of the interview in television news stories.
Interviews provide essential detail and helps give stories spirits and atmosphere and impact a sense of spontaneity that would otherwise be lost.
2. Discuss ways that will help you establish trust with an interview source.
Make an effort to go out and talk for at least five minutes over coffee. Be genuine with self confidence.
3. What personal conduct and manners are important to observe whenever you are in someone else's home or coffee?
Good manners and being genuine. Arrive on time and don't stay too late. Don't chew gum, refrain from sitting unless asked. Be friendly but not overly familiar. How you treat the interviewee may reflect how viewers respond to you.
5. Discuss techniques you can employ to help put the interview subject at ease.
Help the interviewee focus on what they are used to. Typically if an interviewee is engaged in a familiar activity rather than sitting or standing in front of a wall, they'll be more comfortable and relaxed.
6. Why is it important not to reveal the questions you intend to ask until the actual interview begins?
Be spontaneous. To help preserve the feeling of spontaneity, try not to share questions in advance of the interview. That's because subjects ordinarily put most of their energy into their first response. The best interviews address the moment and the feelings of the moment and grow naturally from the honest interaction between you and the subject.
8. Explain why research and planning are so important to the interview process.
The more you know, the more confidence you'll have and you'll also concentrate more. Use all resources available.
11. What constitutes a "dumb" interview question?
A typical question that people will more than likely know the answer to already including yourself, as well as something really "easy" for the interviewee to answer.
