Comment on How to Tell a Multimedia Story, Part 1 (The Interview) by Chrys

Hi Bret. One of the examples Jim gave was, "What is your name and what do you do?" Most people's natural response is "My name is (first name, last name) and I am a (job name)." Note, when using two questions in a single sentence format, you've got to keep the questions short. Otherwise, the interviewee will forget what you're asking and will be unable to provide a meaningful answer.

Hey Chrys, great blog. I was wondering, what did Seida mean by ask questions in pairs? Does that mean ask two questions at once (What is your opinion on the limping economy, and how will we get out of this slump?), or ask two related questions back to back. thanks!

Not sure what happened, Ed. The link to the tipsheet seems to be working now.

Thanks very much for taking the time to share all of this! One glitch: the link for "Advanced Excel techniques tipsheet (from MaryJo Webster)" is not working.

It is great to be in this site and to somehow serve the NICAR community. at Junar.com we believe in Open Data and we have created a platform to enable both publishers to Open Data and users to discover, track and use such Data.
