[Official] 5 Basic Steps to producing a successful interview.

Trev · 09-25-2011, 01:21 AM

1. Research your topic of choice:
Do a bit of research about your topic to be able to provide factitious information, it'll actually give you some filler content, too.

2. Prepare your questions ahead of time!:
In journalism, most writers will have far more questions than what is actually asked. Sometimes depending on the situation, a writer may need to change some questions quickly. Have some extras written up just in case. You never know when a fool is gonna QQ over a question you ask.

3. Be unique with questions in each interview!:
It's fine to ask the basic "Who/What/When/Where/Why?" questions, but when you are running through a single set of questions for each interview, well.. things can get old quick. This is a situation where doing some research on your topic can help you think you some wicked awesome questions.

4. Make your interview stand out!:
Rather than just simply bolding the questions, actually try to make it look a bit more appealing by throwing in some color and sizeVARIATION. Images also work!
