Interview

      An interview has many definitions, but the one that I'm going to explain is the basic definition. An interview is basically asking someone questions about certain subjects. An easier definition for this kind of interview and why it is different from the others is that a journalistic interview is because the interviewer use the information to make an article that can tell readers how other people felt about the article. This kind of interview is a lot different from others because the writer can add the interviewers' response in order to connect with other people.

          In order to do an interview, the journalist must have a meeting place with the client, some pieces of papers, a pencil or pen, and a lot of questions. One of the most important things to do during interviews is that the journalist must be prepared with questions related to the topic. Another important thing to do during an interview is to get a lot of juicy facts from the client. In other words, get a lot of information in order to make a more interesting article. After the interview, the journalist must send all of the data collected from the interview into his/her writings.

    

        The information from interviews are extremely important since people these days will mostly base their opinions on other people's opinions. By adding other people's opinions into writings, maybe more people will like it more or hate it more. Besides all the information that were presented, there isn't anything else that people need to know about journalistic interviews.

                             Well, I hope and you enjoy this blog so far and I will hope you enjoy my next few posts.

Inverted Pyramid Structure



                 The Inverted Pyramid Structure is basically putting the main idea in the first sentence. Even though there are many type of pyramid structures, the Inverted Pyramid Structure is mainly for journalism. Click for more info.

"The inverted pyramid is a metaphor often used by writing instructors to illustrate how information should be arranged or presented within a news story. The pyramid’s broad base at the top of the figure represents the key information the writer means to convey.This is what the rest of the article will illustrate, often supported by quotes from individual’s involved in the story."

                  The Inverted Pyramid Structure is very important to journalism because it is use to grab the readers' attention. In journalism, this pyramid structure is like an instruction sheet on how to write a juicy article. Without the pyramid, there might be a world full of idiots since only a few people will read articles and books that doesn't have the main idea in the first sentence.

If you are reading this blog and managed to get to the end, then I wish you good luck in your future writings. See you next time in my next post.   "So it was important for reporters to write in what's known as a descending order of importance, the almighty 'inverted pyramid' shape, for editors to be able to cut from the bottom."

Bias

                         Bias is basically your opinions in both spoken and written language. Although bias is all around us, in journalism there is only room for the truth. In anything other than journalism, then there will be room for both the truth and lies.

          “One of the biggest problems with the world today is that we have large groups of people who will accept whatever they hear on the grapevine, just because it suits their worldview—not because it is actually true or because they have evidence to support it. The really striking thing is that it would not take much effort to establish validity in most of these cases… but people prefer reassurance to research.”

― Neil deGrasse Tyson

                         

                          Bias is one of the main thing that a journalist must never have in his writings. In the public writings, almost everyone will believe anything the news say. If the world ever have bias in the news, then the world will end and and all the smart people will disappear and only idiots will inhabit the earth. Another reason of why bias is horrible is that people might never trust or read anything news articles ever again because the media uses their opinions more often and might even make fun of other people and maybe even ruin their lives.

                                                                    In future writings, I will not use bias since it is the number 1 enemy in journalism. Then I shall research more about bias so my future writings will attract more people. Thank you viewers and I'll see you later.
