Description

Journalism-you can become a skilled media interviewer. Imagine yourself conducting interviews with news-makers, industry experts and colleagues and appearing confident and authoritative the whole time. Wouldn't it be nice to know how to look and sound your best and come across as a skilled interviewer anytime you have a chance to ask people questions on video or audio?

In this How to Conduct Interviews Journalism course you will learn the following:

*How to conduct interviews with newsmakers and industry experts for video and audio programs and podcasts.

*How to appear comfortable and confident on camera

*How to prepare questions in advance

*How to rehearse using video

*How to prepare for a career in broadcast journalism

This journalism course is delivered primarily through spoken lecture. Because the skill you are learning is speaking related, it only makes sense that you learn through speaking.

The skill you will learn in this class is not primarily theoretical or academic. It is a skill that requires physical habits. That is why you will be asked to take part in numerous exercises where you record yourself speaking on video, and then watching yourself. Learning presentation skills is like learning how to ride a bicycle. You simply have to do it numerous times and work past the wobbling and falling off parts until you get it right.

This journalism course contains numerous video lectures plus several bonus books for your training library.

How long this course takes is up to you. The longest part of the course involves you speaking on video, critiquing yourself, and doing it over until you like it.

And having this skill will save you time for all future media presentations in your life.
