Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A bit dated, given the advances that have been made with computer-assisted reporting. Many of Brady's otherwise excellent anecdotes are also quite dated. But I still occasionally use this text as a supplement in a college-level information news-gathering class that I teach. It's a no-nonsense and user-friendly manual that provides some great tips to help novices tackle the tricky task of interviewing. ( ) no reviews | add a review
John Brady, editor of Writer's Digest and himself an accomplished interviewer, has put together an indispensable guide to the art of questioning. In a lively, down-to-earth manner, "The Craft of Interviewing" covers all aspects of the interview process -- getting the interview, doing research, handling the subject face-to-face, hurdling hazards, getting tough, taking notes (on the sly, if need be), taping, dealing with off-the-record types, concluding the interview, verifying it, and writing it up. Brady has also filled the book with a myriad of anecdotes revealing the experiences of some of the best known interviewers of our times. A noteworthy appendix on the history of the interview is included. No library descriptions found. |
