The Interview
Hmm... my first, full-length news interview.
I had no idea what to expect... sitting down and actually asking someone questions about their life. It was a little easier though since I interviewed a professor that I know and have had a class with.
The interview was more like a conversation. Even though I had prepared questions, the interview flowed as questions sprang from things that he said and things from even my own experiences.
It was very insightful. I was a little nervous going in, but I felt more comfortable as the interview went on.
Like the press conference, I didn't know what to write down. Even though I had a tape recorder, I still had to take notes.
Sitting down with someone for a one-on-one interview is definitely different from going out and asking people a few questions about a certain topic.
All in all, it was good experience, and I know I'll be ready for the next time.

It should be a conversation, but one in which you keep nudging it in directions you want it to take. And sometimes you have to "impolitely" disagree. But an interview with a pleasant thoughtful person should be a very pleasant experience.
