Chapter 7 Questions:

1. The essential role of the interview is to provide essential detail while giving stories spirit and atmosphere and impart a sense of spontaneity that would otherwise be lost.

3. Being on time, leaving the chewing gum at home, refrain from sitting unless you are invited and being friendly not overly familiar are examples of good manners.

4. The most important interview question you can ask is "Show me what you can do".

8. Research and planning are important because the more you know about your source the more confidence you give the person and the more you can concentrate on listening without having to worry about the next question you'll ask.

11. Building questions around the five w's and avoiding two-part questions constitutes dumb interview questions.

WHO I AM:

My name is Devante Williams, I'm a sophomore from Greenville, South Carolina. I attend South Carolina State University and majoring in the broadcasting communications field. I'm 20 years old, I like art, sports, fashion, music of all genres, cars, and architecture. A dream of mine is to own a television station. The purpose of the station would be to educate the youth and guide them in right direction, similar to the TV shows networks aired during our childhood. Another passion of mine is to create my own brand of clothing. The brand will consist of clothing for men and young men. In a very distinct manner, the brand will display a mixture of plaid flannels, jeans both slim fit and some stressed including tears and rips in them. The reason why is because the fashion trend in today's society is exposing too much and I feel as if, "simplicity is the key to brilliance". That's a quote from Nicky Diamonds, founder of the famous street wear Diamond Supply Co. When I graduate from college, I plan to follow up on my aspirations but also become an ESPN TV host. The purpose of this would reflect on my love for all sports. I would create segments that would attract more people just by the approach and mindset I would have. It would be a great experience because I would be able to travel to different places, meet some role models who influenced me to do the things I do.
