THE ART OF THE INTERVIEW

Veteran broadcast journalist Patti Obrow White explains the art of interviewing. Main topics include preparing for the interview, breaking the ice, establishing a quick relationship, setting ground rules, dealing with "pressure points," and negotiating follow-up interviews. Numerous clips from her own interviews help illustrate each point, including interviewing difficult subjects such as "the avoider," "the reactor," and "the bad guy." Grades 9–12. Closed captioned.
