Guest: NAIWE’s Journalism Expert Kristen Fischer

Journalists have to guide an interview, and how they do it can make or break a story. In this webinar, we’ll explore different tactics for asking questions that receive more detailed responses and produce better sound bites. Come prepared with one example of a great question you’ve asked in the past, and one that you thought was great yet fell flat.

Here’s what you can expect to learn in this class:

• What’s a better question

• What a better question can give you

• What better questions require

• How to go beyond the 5Ws and H

• Questions to ask when crafting questions

Duration: 54 minutes
