Our world is more interconnected today than it has ever been. Digital communication and technology have brought us together in ways that previously might have been considered science fiction. . . . . Ironically, however, we as a global society don’t spend much time speaking with one another. We text. We email. We tweet. We status update. But it’s as if we’ve all forgotten how to have “real” conversations. Or, we’ve convinced ourselves that we just don’t have the time anymore.. . . . This should never be an excuse for media and communications professionals. Regardless of which multimedia specialty you pursue, your core communications skills will be necessary. Specifically, the ability to successfully interview others will be crucial to any content that you want to produce – whether that be digital, video, in print, or audio.. . . . In this Art of Interviewing session, you’ll learn some of the do’s and don’ts about preparing for and executing effective interviews that will help you to deliver impactful content to the audience that you’ll serve professionally.. . . . Joe Darrah ’01 is a journalist and multimedia communications specialist.
