How to conduct an interview in journalism Conducting a good interview isn’t easy – it takes a lot of practice. To help, here a few tips from Leisa Goddard at Adoni Media to learn to how to interview like a pro: Preparation Research – The only way to come up with good questions is to know everything there is to know about your subject. Research the individual or the subject and head into the interview with a sense of what you want to get out of it. Write down your questions – be prepared with questions, aim to have twice as many you are expecting to ask, but be prepared to ditch those questions to follow where the conversation leads. Bring relevant materials – A pencil A notebook A list of good questions A recording device. Be on time – Arrive at your interview with plenty of time to spare. If you’ve never been to the place where your interview is taking place, go early and scout it out.
