The Interview

 
   Frum maintains "her cool" and continues on with the interview while asking the questions she felt were important and stayed calm throughout the interview by asking what she wanted to hear and not taking offense to Sandra Good's comments about Frum's interviewing skills.
   The outcome of Frum being more aggressive or confrontational would lead the interview going nowhere, Good would have gotten more upset with her and no information would have been told, no answers that Frum was determined to get wouldn't have been received.
   One question that Frum asked that I felt was a very effective question was when she asks "Ms. Goods, how come your talking about trees that you care about yet you don't care about killing men?" this question through Good's off and it shows a small side of Frum's frustration with her.
   Things to remember when either preparing interview questions or doing an interview are to stay on the topic and remain calm and keep trying to get the answers you want. As a student journalist you can learn these same techniques from Frum that will get them through an interview that "went wrong".
   As a student journalist if I had to interview somebody I would choose George Jones a country music artist, he was the king of country music. I think this interview would not be tough because I have listened to his music my whole life and I know many things about him so I think I would know now the right questions to ask.
