You are Interviewed

Hey guys,

One of the biggest things that I tend to not acquire are proper, first-hand research interviews to provide first-person experience and data. Little to my knowledge did I expect so much depth to be extracted from a first-person interview. Personally, I don't believe I have enough contacts to justify going out and making a big effort for an interview. With that, chapter 6 continues to defy my own ideas by actually pointing out six different types of questions, Primary, Secondary, Open-ended, Closed-ended, Neutral and Leading. Depending on what you expect from the interviewee or the interview itself, you can direct your question to hopefully come out with results that you expect, but not to the point where you make it a biased interview.

I haven't been the best at interviewing, even if a certain class demanded it. I find the biggest difficulty incorporating an interview within a deadline, especially for school, because students in modern-day universities and filled with jobs and assignments from other schools. Personally, I believe that interviews can provide possibly the best information and data for any speech, but is incredibly difficult.

Lastly, I find the information how important the internet sources can be. People take the internet for granted, and many believe that it has false information, but I believe with good enough research and obtaining background information, an internet site can prove much more useful, authentic and convenient. With that, we're taking an online comm class to fulfill university credits, thus the internet can provide sufficient and reliable information for papers and speeches in our university.

  1. I agree most people are too busy to be interviewed. But I' am sure there are other ways to go about it. I think the internet is also a good source of information, I think some of the articles and web sites are flase but if you check for validity they should be good.
