In class today, we discussed interviewing. I mentioned the six basic pieces of information your interview should uncover. They are as follows: Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How?
These questions are the basics of journalism. These questions spell out what a good news article should include, so don't forget them.
To help, here is a graphical look at the 5 W's and the H:
| WHO: | THE PEOPLE INVOLVED. |
| WHAT: | THE PROBLEMS, THINGS, IDEAS. |
| WHEN: | PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE OF THE TOPIC. |
| WHERE: | THE PLACES INVOLVED. |
| WHY: | THE CAUSES, REASONS, RESULTS, CONDITIONS. |
| HOW: | HISTORY OR FUNCTION (HOW IT BEGAN OR OPERATES). |
