>Aimed at science communicators, writers, broadcasters and students this
>year's briefings aim to provide an introduction or refresher to some of

>broadcaster to help you develop your career.

>This month, presenter of Radio 4's Material World, Quentin Cooper will
>give us his tips on how to conduct a successful interview and share some
>of his interviewing experiences with us. Described by The Times as "the
>world's most enthusiastic man" and, more flatteringly, as "an expert on
>everything from pop music to astrophysics", Quentin Cooper has also been
>acclaimed by the Daily Mail for his "wit and enthusiasm which can
>enliven the dullest of topics" The session will look at interviewing for
>broadcast and writing an
>article:
>
>* The basics: the research, setting up, briefing the interviewee
>beforehand,
>navigating the challenges of the interview itself, how much material to
>gather, recording, writing up, and extracting the essential answers so
>that you can write your piece.
>* How do you get someone to 'open up' and provide the answers that
>you want
>to hear rather than letting them take you on a diversion?
>* How do you fairly deal with someone whose views are anathema to
>you?
>* How do you handle a difficult interviewee e.g. the non-stop
>rambler, the
>nervous interviewee, the control freak?
>* How do you broach sensitive topics?
>* How do you deal with children and other unsophisticated sources?
>* How do you protect confidential sources (people whom you have
>promised to
>protect) while using their information to conduct further research?"
