Interviewing is a very important part of the news package. If your interviewing is bad or boring, you won't be able to make your story interesting. This makes it harder to edit, as well as draw your audience in. For example if you ask someone, "Is there a new turtle at the zoo?" They might say just, "Yes." However, if you were to ask someone, "Is there a new family member at the zoo?" They would probably respond more lively. They might say, "Yes. We have a new turtle. His name is Henry. He is 12 years old." And right there you have more to edit in your story and this makes it easier to draw an audience in. Something else that is very important, you HAVE to be interested in what you are doing. Continuing with the zoo story, if you were attacked by a turtle as a child and hope all turtles are dead, then maybe you can let a co-worker do a Henry the turtle story. Because, your not interested. It has nothing to do with you being close-minded, it is your opinion that you don't like turtles, so you may not to be able to as good of a job as you normally could.
