People can be a great source of information. When you question others to learn about a topic, it is called an interview.
An interview is a conversation where you ask an expert or someone with firsthand experience questions to learn more about a subject. Use an interview when you need:
An expert’s viewpoint on a topic
Firsthand information from someone with direct experience
Choose the right person – This could be an expert, educator, investigator, or writer with knowledge of your topic
Reach out and schedule – Contact them and arrange a time to talk.
Prepare questions – Make a list of clear, focused questions to guide the conversation.
