Something instead of nothing

I thought this was a very interesting article. I can relate to Klosterman when he talks about how he thought answering questions would be easier than asking them. I had to interview a lot in high school for the school newspaper and wasn’t interviewed myself until my senior year. I agree with Klosterman, it was a lot harder than I thought, I had to watch what I said because I didn’t want to sound stupid or say the wrong thing, of course unlike him being Editor I could go in and edit what I said but I still remember the feeling of almost not knowing what to say and being careful with my words.
I also like what Ira Glass says when she talks about journalism students asking him how she gets people to open up to her. She says that she is curious about what the people he interviews, are saying. She says she honestly cares about the stories they are telling, I think this is very interesting. It is something I will be doing when I interview people now. The more people open up the better the story will be.
