Interview is not just one of many genres of journalism but a fundamental tool of journalistic work. The skills of conducting interviews, gathering information, and analyzing data are used by journalists every day.
We will improve these skills in this course. Our goal is to learn to work with information as comprehensively as possible: to facilitate accurate answers to the questions asked; to be able to speak anywhere, with anyone, under any circumstances; to write texts that will be memorable to readers; to create video content that is interesting to the world. In other words, we will perfect your art of interview.

The course is conducted FULLY ONLINE due to logistic reasons. During the course, three main practical assignments will be assessed. They are different types of interviews that students prepare independently. The process includes the following stages: finding a topic and a subject, preparing for the conversation, recording it, creating the text, and promoting it.
