ABSTRACT

Beth Harvey was also determined to ask some questions that would be new to the stars. During her extensive research, she discovered that Tinsel had got in touch and spent time with people from the Quileute and Makah nations depicted in the Twilight Saga so this in turn became one of Beth’s questions. Questioning techniques can be divided into three main areas: questions to use, questions to try and questions to avoid. A lot of interviews should present ‘must ask’ questions for the journalist. These are the sort of questions the public would want to ask if they were conducting the interview themselves. An excellent way to obtain more definitive answers is to ask the interviewee to provide their own summary, to rank information they have been given, or to make a choice. Not only does this provide more detail but it also gives their order of priority or importance.
