Semester TWO, Blog # 1

In Eminem's interview the introduction was very well written, and the descriptive words make you feel like your in the room interviewing him. The editing of the interview gave the main point of the meaning and it still felt raw. The magazine source is very reliable so that makes the piece of writing professional.

In this interview the introduction is short, but it gives you a message. The questions flowed really well and was a whole coherent piece.


Post a written reflection in which you describe what makes a great final product when a journalist (or group of writers, editors, etc.) create an interview that is presented in the professional world. We know an interview needs good questions... but what else makes these great? What other elements of writing are used? How does the writer create a final product that is more than a transcript of a conversation? What makes these finished, professional pieces of journalism?
