Record a television police drama, a magazine programme, or a news broadcast. Watch somebody being interviewed: for example, police interviewing suspect, host interviewing celebrity, or news reader interviewing politician. Identify the questioning techniques used. What advice can you give the interviewer to help improve their questioning? Replay this interview with the sound off. Can you identify any barriers which made this communication less effective – physical layout, posture, timing, non-verbal behaviours? What further advice can you give to the interviewer?
