"How to Conduct an Interview"

This is a basic how-to guide containing tips on how to conduct a successful interview. I like the emphasis on the "story" aspect, and how finding and collecting someone's "story" is better than simply writing down the "breaking news." It's actually very similar to an idea that came up during my own interview this past week: the ability for well-crafted creative non-fiction to lead to some kind of "discovery" among its readers that breaking news fails to do. With creative non-fiction, the reader has less of a clear idea what is in store for them, apart from perhaps the title of the article, and embarks on something new when they sit down and read it. I like the idea of applying this to interviews, and to writing in general.
