Unsaid

This was a very interesting article, as speech in general really interests me, especially things people say sometimes. I like to think that often times people say things that they don’t mean to say of at least shouldn’t. The more that people open up the better a story it may make, but often times it is difficult to get people to do so. I think that all the questions asked by the journalism students as to how to get people to open up make a lot of sense. It is hard to get people to open up, but that is when the best interviews occur. Making people feel comfortable is the best way to do this and I think to be a successful journalist you have to be able to get people to say these things and be comfortable saying them. The whole article really makes sense when you think about it. A simple concept of getting people to open up can be so complicated. I'd like to try my interview skills and then reflect upon this article some more.
