If you can come up with good questions, you can learn how to write interviews and get published in newspapers and magazines. Designed for novice journalists and established writers, this course targets the most basic skill in journalism and the backbone of all articles: interviewing. Topics include choosing the right topic; researching an idea and interviewee; dealing with spokespeople and publicists; preparing for an interview; interviewing styles and techniques; choosing and attributing quotes; and marketing your story. Participants base written assignments on actual interviews. Guest speakers include top New York City journalists and editors.
