Interview Like a Journalist
May 27 | 10:00 - 12:00
Members: Nadia Trudel
Clusters: Milieux
Interviews are one of the most valuable and versatile skills you can develop—whether you’re conducting interviews for your thesis, you’re producing a documentary project, you want to start a podcast, or you’re looking to become a better conversationalist.
Drawing on journalism techniques, this practical workshop led by Milieux Storyteller Nadia Trudel will teach participants how to write questions, build trust, connect with subjects, and ensure every interview is successful. Together, the group will also explore best practices and ethical considerations in conducting and using interviews. While touching on a range of contexts, the workshop approaches interviewing as an art form.
Regardless of discipline or project, participants will leave with concrete tools to refine their own interview style.
