Course Description

Journalism-you can become a skilled media interviewer. Imagine yourself conducting interviews with news-makers, industry experts and colleagues and appearing confident and authoritative the whole time. Wouldn't it be nice to know how to look and sound your best and come across as a skilled interviewer anytime you have a chance to ask people questions on video or audio? 

  In this How to Conduct Interviews Journalism course you will learn the following: 

  * How to conduct interviews with newsmakers and industry experts for video and audio programs and podcasts. 

  * How to appear comfortable and confident on camera

  * How to prepare questions in advance 

  * How to rehearse using video

*How to prepare for a career in broadcast journalism

  This journalism course is delivered primarily through spoken lectures. Because the skill you are learning is speaking related, it only makes sense that you learn through speaking. 

  The skill you will learn in this class is not primarily theoretical or academic. It is a skill that requires physical habits. That is why you will be asked to take part in numerous exercises where you record yourself speaking on video, and then watching yourself. Learning presentation skills is like learning how to ride a bicycle. You simply have to do it numerous times and work past the wobbling and falling off parts until you get it right. 

  This journalism course contains numerous video lectures plus several bonus books for your training library. 

  TJ Walker has been coaching and training people on their presentation and journalism skills for 30 years. Now, through the power of Udemy's online platform, he is able to give you the same high quality training that he gives in person to CEOs, Fortune 500 executives, and Presidents of countries. Only you can now receive the training at a tiny fraction of the normal fee for in-person training. 

  How long this course takes is up to you. The longest part of the course involves you speaking on video, critiquing yourself, and doing it over until you like it. But if you get to the point where you love how you look and sound when you present it will be well worth the time spent. And having this skill will save you time for all future media presentations in your life. 

  You can begin improving your media presentation skills right now. You may have an opportunity to speak out as soon as tomorrow, so why waste another day worried that your media presentation skills are not up to high standards. Enroll in this course today.

The course is indeed great and straight on point. The basics and core principles of interviewing are comprehended clearly. I was asking for more specific tips, including how we create questions, engage, etc. But then I saw TJ's books that explain all of it. I love it, Man!

By Elana koral on 11/17/2024

Despite one or two tips on how to act in an interview, I found very little value. The so called bot to give feedback is simply another Q & A session for seven minutes after which you need to pay more. Very dissapopinted.

This is Seemar Babar from Pakistan. It was a great course to overcome our fear and nervousness during an interview. It helped a lot. I believe this course would have been more interesting if it had an exemplary Interview to point out do's and don'ts.

By Eesha maryam on 10/16/2024

It was a Fabolous experience. This course was great! But it could have been better if you could add more videos on some examples of interview or some videos showing visually wrong gestures or ways that some people use while interviewing. And the same way some best interviewers how they do interview.

By Bob Lennard on 12/26/2020

While I don’t disagree with the “practice makes perfect” philosophy of this course, I would also say it doesn’t provide any direct instructions on how to best conduct an interview. It does a great job of reinforcing the idea that practice helps, to be self critical but not harsh, and other great ideas for this or any new task you undertake. I get that interviewing can be an art as much as a science, but even a general framework for an interview would have been nice - things like speaking cadence, rephrasing questions as you listen to responses, or really anything specific to the mechanics. The instructor is great in offering up his time to answer specific questions, but sometimes it is hard as a complete novice to know what you don’t know. Original contextual guidance from the instructor would be a great addition to this course.

I love ❤️ this Course. I implemented tips from this course on my Talk Show and When I interview people in the streets. Thanks for the opportunity., I am so much more confident in my abilities. Thanks Fabulous Annie

By Konradxtofik on 12/23/2018

It's a really good course. It's quite generic, I think. I'd like TJ Walker talk about examples of his words interviews, so that we can learn from his experience. It'd be great to watch clips of things/mistakes to avoid.

By Reynold junior Loiseau on 3/18/2018

well that was one of the greatest investment i made with my time by taking that course. We have all the tools that we need to conduct great interviews and get the best out of our guests Thank you

By Bruce Ritter on 12/3/2017

At first I wrote, "So far, everything seems to be on point." After I finished the entire course, I am convinced I made the right choice in selecting this course--especially consider the PDF that is attached it. I plan to put these easy-to-understand exercises into use.

By Rolando Castro on 11/18/2015
