Document Summary
How to conduct great interviews with kristin harmel. Freelancing for other magazine since she was 16 (for 18 years) Done numerous interviews for the daily buzz and wesh-nbc news. Do your research beforehand: research the person thoroughly, know as many facts as you can, unnecessary questions make the interviewee less likely to trust you. As long as it"s not controversial: don"t make conversation about something like politics, religion or another potentially heated issue. Etc: make sure not to indicate judgment! Ask about what"s happening now: craft specific questions about current projects, leads to good quotes and shows you did your research, you"ll get timely, newsworthy quotes. Ask about how they feel: ease them into it with specific questions. Be interested: react, laugh, smile, make eye contact, ask questions based on their answers. Tough questions sometimes provide the best closing quotes.
