The students who have succeeded in this course; By attending and succeeding this course students; - Will have a detailed knowledge about interview journalism; its history, aims, and different applications in this field, - Will be able to know different interview techniques adopted to different sources, issues, media and environment, - Will be able to use the right way to reach and convince the interviewee, - Will have an understanding of detailed journalistic research about people to be interviewed and issues to interview on, - Will have the information about technical details which should be followed during the interview, - Will be able to write and edit the interview after collecting the data, |
This course suggests a contextual introduction to the journalistic interview. It covers the processes of preparation and realization of any interview, on print or in audiovisual format and provides knowledge about methodical, strategic, contextual and argumentative nature of the interview. During the course students will gain practical interviews experiences. At the same time students will have to be able to analyze and evaluate, beyond the impression or unfounded comment, that is, any type of interview, to be able to see the adequacy and efficiency of each question and the strategy in order to identify and understand the mistakes and skills of the interviewer. |
