Topic: Strategically Interviewing for Communication
In chapter 7, regarding the subject of interviews, Hilliard asserts:
· The writer/researcher must dig deeply, and the writer/interviewer should be equally familiar with the interviewee’s background, attitudes, and feelings which are keys to a successful interview.
In strategic communication environments, such as corporate communication, interviews may be a necessary part of a video project.
Would you take this approach in a corporate interview? Why or why not?
Would the position of the interviewee relative to yourself -- equal, subordinate, superior -- make a difference? Why or why not?
Finally, if you would choose another approach from those Hilliard outlines, what might you choose? As always, explain your reasoning.
