The first thing I noticed about this chapter and took something away from is the GOAL model of an interview. As someone who has had experience with interviewing, but not in the format of writing a profile, this was really interesting. In past, I have […]

Journal #11
The first person I am interested in interviewing is Professor Matthew Anderson. He teaches English Literature at the university and was the founder of the HuMed program at UNE. He has a history of growing up in France and an extensive work with book editing/writing. […]
Journal #10
There are multiple things to be touched upon in this chapter that are important. I myself conduct many interviews for the Bolt and know what it like to have a bad interview. Through time and experience I have been able to develop my own method […]

Journal #3
One thing I found really interesting in this chapter, though not elaborated on densely, is the idea of media convergence or “multimedia”. The idea that as a journalist you have to have the ability to appeal to multiple audiences. This means being able to edit […]
Journal #2
The two concepts I want to really note on from the passage in the integration of detail and fiction into journalism and the idea of private vs. public. There is a whole subsection to journalism that I find many do not realize can be quite […]
