How to write an interview? Interview is the basic means for journalists to obtain news materials through observation and interview. If you want to organize the interview results into an interview draft, you should also learn to cut and process the materials. Journalists and people who get information usually communicate face to face. Let's see how to write the interview draft.
How to write the interview draft 1? First, learn to cut interview materials.
We take notes after the interview, just like making clothes out of cloth, but having cloth doesn't mean making clothes. In order to make clothes, we must cut and process cloth. Similarly, if you want to organize the interview results into an interview draft, you should also learn to cut and process the materials.
How to cut and process? Is it based on the purpose of your interview to determine what content should be put first? What should be put in the back? What are the highlights of the interview? The key content should be written in detail, and the secondary content can be omitted or omitted. Of course, even if it is the key content, it is not necessary to write out all the languages of the interviewees. You can write the main content appropriately, but you must be careful not to take it out of context, which will misinterpret the intention of the interviewee.
Second, learn to write the environment of the interview site into the article.
If only the interview process is written in the interview draft, the article may seem a bit monotonous. In the interview process, we should learn to observe: observe the environment layout of the interviewee, observe the appearance of the interviewee, observe the changes of the interviewee's behavior ... These can be written in the interview draft appropriately, so that the article will be more interesting.
Three, the interview draft can be combined with direct quotation and indirect quotation.
If the interview is a question-and-answer dialogue, readers will feel bored after reading the article. You can combine direct quotation with indirect quotation when writing an article. For example, when introducing characters experience, indirect quotation can be used. When people tell their own stories, if direct quotation is used, the article will be more real and touching.
How to write an interview 2. The art of asking questions in an interview
1, body posture.
Behaviorists believe that the correct standing posture should be upright, chest out, abdomen in, head up, eyes looking straight, arms naturally drooping or crossing in front of you, and right hand on Wang's left hand when crossing. If you are tired, you can retreat half a step with one leg, but your upper body must still be upright.
If you stand with your legs crossed and your hands on your waist or in your trouser pocket, you will send some frivolous and not serious messages. Such a gesture will make the interviewee feel disrespected, widen the emotional distance with the reporter consciously, and even let the reporter close the door, which will bring certain difficulties to the interview work.
Body linguists believe that the sitting posture that gives people a good feeling should be that the center of gravity should be vertical downward after the human body sits down smoothly, the waist should be upright, the upper body should be straight, the hands should be naturally placed on the king's knees or the armrest of the chair, the head should be stable, and the eyes should be straight. When sitting sideways, the upper body and legs should turn to one side at the same time, and the head should lean forward slightly.
Under normal circumstances, especially when interviewing people, most reporters sit and talk. They should consciously maintain the correct sitting posture and convey a kind of "good information with reasonable knowledge and certain cultural literacy" to the other party. When transmitting information, they should pay attention to discretion and not give people the feeling of affectation.
If the reporter lets Wang sit in a chair casually, casually, or with his legs crossed, or folds his legs into a "4" shape and buckles them with his hands, or even folds his legs and shakes his toes constantly, and twists his body from time to time to change his sitting posture, this posture will make the interviewee feel impolite to the reporter, which will breed resistance and directly affect the interview effect.
Step 2 talk.
From the linguistic point of view, different audio, sound speed and volume will express different information, which is closely related to the interview effect. When asking questions, it is best to use imperative sentences of equal discussion, such as "Would you please talk about it ...? ""Can you tell me your opinion on this matter "and so on. This can reduce the psychological pressure and nervousness of the other party, and the interview will enter a positive and lively situation and achieve good results.
If you use that blunt, sharp and rude tone, you will not be able to make the interviewee open up and even have resistance to the reporter. This requires reporters to make full preparations for the interview before the interview, so as to keep a clear head and agile thinking during the interview and show it directly in the questioning and communication.
Incoherent words, vague words or loose talk will affect the cooperation between the interviewee and the reporter. At the same time, journalists should avoid repeating or explaining questions or opinions that are not profound, trust the understanding and judgment of the interviewees, and respect the interviewees.
Of course, in order to get the best interview effect, we should not blindly use sharp and provocative questioning methods, but should be rigid, flexible and polite, otherwise it will end in discord. The best interview effect needs the close cooperation of both parties. Although the problem is sharp, it can't hurt the feelings of the other party and the harmonious atmosphere of the live interview. It should be a duet, not a one-man show. Sharp questions must be sharp to the point, controlled in an appropriate atmosphere, and if necessary, carefully designed a humanized way of meeting.
Step 3 thank you
The art of asking questions: First, use more imperative sentences of discussion, such as "Would you please talk about it?" "Can you tell me your opinion?" , help to relieve the other party's psychological awareness of tension, restraint and prevention, and win the cooperation of the interviewee as soon as possible. Second, approachable. Third, we should observe the face and observe the color, improvise, ask questions when the interviewee is happy, stop when he is tired, comfort when he is sad, and don't be reluctant when he refuses to talk. Fourth, we should respect privacy.
Proper manners reflect self-cultivation. When interviewing, your eyes should be steady and gentle. Avoid burying your head in bitter memories. The expression is natural and calm, with a smile.
How to write the interview draft? What is the unique significance and value of the interview draft?
1. High salary
Before, an entrepreneur asked me to write a propaganda draft for his enterprise in Zhihu, demanding to focus on describing his struggle history, and the asking price was not low.
But at that time, I was too busy to run on several platforms and didn't plan to develop in this direction, so I didn't accept this draft.
There are also some cooperative interviews, which are also well paid, that is, you are assigned to interview a person, and then present his story to countless readers for a media promotion or packaging.
An excellent person is an encyclopedia.
The people we interview are usually leaders or outstanding people in a certain industry or celebrities. In short, the level and social status are not low.
Interviewing such a person, regardless of remuneration, is enough for us to learn a lot, because an excellent person is an encyclopedia.
Create a contact circle
Take Uncle Cat as an example. Uncle Mao opened up a world in the media circle by interviewing celebrities, and thus became the chief interviewer of Jane's book.
After interviewing 100 celebrities, he also integrated these social resources and began to do corporate services. Now his consulting fee is 200 thousand/day.
Doing an interview is not limited to the interview itself, but also to open up your own social circle.
4. Exercise your courage and eloquence
Social skills
It's not that easy to do an interview,
First of all, you should overcome your timidity, because people are prone to fear, fear of rejection, fear of making a fool of yourself in front of celebrities, and so on.
Secondly, eloquence is also very important, because there is no template for interviewing celebrities, and you need to guide and respond according to the situation.
Finally, it is also a test of a person's social skills.
On the premise of never having contact, I suddenly have to face a stranger for one-on-one communication to create a relaxed conversation atmosphere. Long-term training will enable us to establish a relationship with anyone soon.
5. Enrich our life experiences
I think, if I can interview some amazing people, I can blow this cow all my life, and these highlights will also become moments in my life.
Looking back several years later, I still feel that these fragments of life are shining in the long river of time.
