Course Description

This course will give students practical instruction in conducting interviews for a variety of media work, both face-to-face and using the telephone or other telecommunications technology. Weekly classes will focus on the primary techniques and professional practices entailed in the process of interviewing for newspaper, radio and television production. Students will also reflect on the ethical dimensions of the media interview. The course will also feature contributions from local professional journalists who have experience as interviewers. Students will conduct and present original interviews with a variety of subjects, which will be examined and assessed via a portfolio of written work.
