Interviewing for facts - Journalism as a research tool and language
16-11-2023 / 17.30-19.30

The essential skill of journalism is knowing how to conduct compelling interviews, and how to engage with subjects. Every strong journalist brings a unique sensitivity to an interview which is ultimately what will create an original tone of voice and lend work a unique atmosphere.

In this workshop participants will immerse themselves in a range of hands-on exercises, such as mock interviews and real-world case studies to gain practical insights into crafting incisive questions. The focus is on the importance of establishing trust, fostering authentic connections, and respecting artistic integrity.

Journalism in the cultural world sits at the intersection of art and storytelling - stories should be captivating while enriching discourse that connects art and the wider world. The responsibility of art and design journalism is to catalyze critical conversations - to inspire, provoke, and unite.
