The best Interview, Articles and Podcast will always require these five techniques. These help the interview make the best contribution to stories. Here are the five Interview Techniques :
- Write/Record everything you see and hear. Every detail can be important, even the smallest ones. A small detail like what the person interviewed is wearing or what’s happening in the background can always provide you with extra information. It can be a big sign of his/her feelings, attitudes, opinions, etc.
- Do not make any assumptions about anything. Although it is a small piece, it always leads towards wrong information. Assumptions are always different from reality, and sometimes they can turn your story into a crime. In the worst situation, even if you are missing a detail and you need to fill it out with something, you should never assume anything.
- Don’t rely on the internet. The mostly used search engine Google is full of fake news and misinformation. On the internet, itt might not have all the information and it might not have credible sources. It’s always better to have other sources that you can trust to use, for example, a book related to what you are writing about, asking experts about questions and information you need.
- Alway fact check everything. If someone finds out what you published has any major false information, you are in big trouble. It would become a big damage to your magazine or Podcast. Fact checking can also be a good way to find new details that you didn’t know about before.
- Never write funny. Never turn a true story into a fantasy just for entertaining people. People often love fantasies, which is not what journalism or interviews are about. Interviews are about real thoughts and opinions from interviewees. By collecting truthworth information, we then make them a story that is easy to read. A lot of time, people are afraid of accepting reality, but this shouldn’t be the reason why we don’t report the truth.
Make sure you always use these five techniques and you will have no trouble with making a perfect Interview, Articles or Podcast.
