SOME EXPLANATIONS

How to Conduct a TV Interview (tips you should keep in mind)

  • Know your subject. Investigate about the topic before asking questions. This way your questions will be more professional.

  • Prepare your subject. Let the interviewee have the chance to prepare for the questions you are going to ask. Give them a general idea or the key points of what they will be asked and the topics that will be covered.

  • Start slow. Ask simple questions, but make sure you cover the main points of the story.

  • Use active listening. Use your body language to indicate your attention and focus on the person you’re interviewing. Maintain eye contact and leave a small pause. It’s likely your interviewee has a few prepared answers, so give them a moment to try and fill the silence themselves.

  • Ask open-ended questions. Rather than searching for ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers, ask questions that will lead to a story, or an emotional share.
