Interviewing

An interview is a conversation between two or more people to get information. An interviewer asks questions, and recieves answers from the interviewee. In a journalistic interview a journalist interviews an interviewee and in other forms of interviews a reporter is the interveiwer.

When preparing for an interview you want to plan out the questions you are going to be asking. You also want to write down all the facts you learn about the subject. An important thing to remember while interviewing someone is you want to ask a question and then recieve a long answer, you don't want to be the one talking the whole time. When you are interviewing you should definately take notes on all the good information your gathering, instead of trying to remember everything they said after.
After the interview I will try to shape my interview notes into an article. I will use the information I have learned about interviewing by always asking lots of questions and checking the facts.  I'll try not to be the one talking the whole time in an interview.
