An Interview with a Reporter: Tips and Advice!

Hello, Darklings! I recently conducted my first interview with Paul Fisher, a reporter for the Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald. The interview was highly successful in regards to being able to find out generalised and useful information on how to break into a very competitive sector especially in this day and age. The outcome of the interview has made me eager to step out of my comfort zone a lot more often since it was problem free and ran smoothly. I gained a lot of valuable knowledge and figured that the answers I received might be of interest to anyone whom is intrigued to know additional and insightful information from a valuable source and essentially, a professionals point of view. 

Introduction

      

Greetings, Darklings! Let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Marianne and I'm an eighteen year old, second year Media and Communications student studying in Glasgow. This means I study Journalism, Video Production, Public Relations, Music Industry Promotions, Web Design, Law and various other subjects that fall within the Creative Industries sector. I'm currently studying in Glasgow, Scotland but I'm from the three towns - known as the 'shire - which is nowhere near as exquisite as the Hobbit's wee place of residence... in the world of the mighty boosh.
