Wouldn\u2019t it be nice if science journalists-in-training got to watch experienced reporters conduct interviews, the way novice doctors follow senior physicians around the hospital and watch them interact with patients? Well, here\u2019s the next best thing. Drawing on the advice of the many science journalists whose insights inform\u00a0The Open Notebook<\/em>, this course cracks open these private conversations between journalist and source to reveal best practices: who to interview, how to frame effective questions, and how to establish rapport while remaining in charge of the conversation. By the end of this free course, you\u2019ll know how to get the best possible information for your story from any source. Students can expect to spend 30-40 minutes per lesson on this five-lesson course, including time spent doing the homework for each lesson.<\/p>\n
