Key Interview Moment

Concept exercise one was about practicing real-world reporting. We had to stop random people, talk to them, and choose the most interesting person to write about. The goal was to learn how to find a good story in everyday life and turn it into a detailed profile.

Interviewing is a vital instrument for journalists because it helps get real information from real people. It humanizes the story. Without interviews, stories would feel less trustworthy and less personal.

When I interviewed Ezekial, I wanted to connect his personal life to bigger economic issues in the country. I started with open questions about his life, then asked follow-up questions about work, money, and challenges. This helped me show how his story links to wider economic trends while keeping it natural and conversational.
