Developing and Interesting Interview

Developing and Interesting Interview news media and Society (9303) interchange questions for the week two tutorialsFor Peter Clarkes chapter on querying from Australian Journalism Today, the questions areWhat is it, according to Clarke, that makes the set piece interview of a human existences figure (often a politician) so dull and arid today? Clarke (2012) relays the means in which OBrien asks a question and states that it is difficult to perceive on the button what is being asked due to the wording, as healthful as known as the hollow bound. It has all the surface attributes of an authentic process of inquiry and revelation but, upon analysis, its clear that very little in categoryation flows from the verbal content of the interview to the waiting minds of the viewing citizens. They have slim pickings in the form of generalised platitudes. The political interview between Gillard and OBrien seems so stock-still on both sides that it is almost useless. By asking such embell ished questions with a lot of room for interpretation (use of metaphors, etc.) it has allowed Gillard, who is already media trained, to give a cautiously crafted response which she can use to her advantage. In other talking to, the journalist has coiffe the interviewee in a position of power which is not advised (Clarke, 2012, pp. 57-76).What are the main ways that interviewers can overcome this problem? Describe at least two of them as discussed in the chapter. Clarke (2012) explains that Carletons question is kicked sour with a metaphor, but the image it conjured went swiftly to the nub of the event that had deep occurred and by implication, the intense emotions and fracturing of Labor traditions surrounding that event (Clarke, 2012, p. 59).Interviewers can believe the ratio of words they are using to question their subjects versus the amount of words being used to answer their questions. To achieve a more match interview transaction the interviewer could alter their techniq ue, if necessary, to improve the unwrapcomes of an interview.Additionally, interviewers can ask short, guardedly crafted questions with a stronger interrogative thrust and fewer distractions for the wary interviewee to seize upon if scheme is their main intention in the style of Leigh Sales (Clarke, 2012, p. 59). By holding it simple and not asking double or triple barrelled questions, you are making it more difficult for the interviewee to stray from the answer you seek. rat you think of an interview you have seen or read or hear recently that you thought was trenchant and interesting? Describe what it was that made it effective and interesting for you.Recently I watched an interview between Andrew Denton and Hugh Jackman on exuberant Rope. It was interesting because Jackman is notoriously difficult to interview, since he has been interviewed many times end-to-end his career. Understandably, it would become a bit monotonous. However, Denton managed to seduce the actor with his charm and passing(a) interview technique. The interview escalated from conversational to confessional and Jackman recounted the moment he wet his knee pants on stage. Dentons technique was clearly effective, as he extracted ad hominem and somewhat embarrassing details from his interviewee (Denton, 2004).Discussion questions for the week six tutorialsFor the chapter from Australian Journalism Today about covering traumatic events, the questions areThe chapter discusses the footing that can be caused by careless or indifferent coverage of traumatic events. What specifically is Kimina Lyall talking about? Lyall speaks of common practices that can exasperate powerlessness, such as camping outside a survivors home despite being asked to leave, or even filming a potential interview subject declining a request for an interview (Lyall, 2012, p. 35). Teichroeb (2009) states that he thinks its insulting to a victim to go in and upshot their story and leave and put it in the newspape r without having that relationship without them being able to say this is OK and this is not (as cited in Lyall, 2012, p. 36). The author also says to avoid the temptation to slot storylines into a series of pre-constructed narratives, such as the hero story or the constructed villain. This type of unthinking, formulaic reporting lone(prenominal) serves to frustrate and compound survivors grief as well as reinforce the community perception (as cited in Lyall, 2012, p. 36). Lyall (2012) mentions that journalists can be tempted into taking short cuts that dispense with basic techniques, including checking facts and verifying events with other concourse present (Lyall, 2012, p. 37).What is post-traumatic filter turnover and to what extent does it affect journalists? Post-traumatic stress disorder (posttraumatic stress disorder) is a psychiatric disorder that can affect someone who has witnessed a traumatic event, for example, through military service, surviving a natural disaster, or covering a school shooting. Some individuals will have stress reactions that do not pass with time and their symptoms can worsen. Individuals who suffer from PTSD often recall the experience through nightmares and flashbacks, have trouble sleeping, and timbre isolated or estranged, and these symptoms can be extreme enough to importantly impact the persons daily life. It can affect journalists by making them psychologically homeless along with preventing them from returning to serve because it is so severe (Lyall, 2012, p. 30).What are the main components of self-care for journalists?Lyall (2012) suggests creating a buffer between the work experience and the home experience by taking time out alone at the end of the as pledgement, through to exercise or entrance in family life outside of the working day (Lyall, 2012, p. 38). The first ill-use is recognising the risks. Journalists should expect the possibility of experiencing strong feelings themselves, and recognise this is n ot a sign of professional weakness but a normal human reaction. ingrained resilience advice includes getting enough food, water, sleep and exercise and reducing the credit on alcohol during a distressing assignment. During the assignment, intense emotions should be expected, admit and, if possible, shared honestly with colleagues either at the scene or in the newsroom. Journalists should not be afraid to seek professional help if symptoms tolerate (Lyall, 2012, p. 38).Reference ListClarke, P. (2012). The interview a hollow dance facial expression for new moves?
