At the interview

1. Do arrive early. 2. Do show interest in the opinion of the people you interview. 3. Do be polite. 4. Don't look bored or impatient. 5. Don't ask very personal questions.

6. Try hard to be objective and non-biased.

When interviewing people ask the following questions:

1. Do you read newspapers or do you prefer to get news from some other sources?

2. What kind of newspapers do you prefer to read?

Add some more questions.

Ask them to give their pros and contras in describing their preferences.

Here is what the three English people said at the interview about their reading habits:

One:

I don't read newspapers at all. They are all biased. They've been taken over by companies who have political interests. And in Britain most papers are right wing. There is one or two that I think are a bit more objective, but I'd rather listen to the radio.

Two:

Actually, I don't want to know about the details of all the troubles in the world - it's all so depressing. I like human-interest stories about people, not wars and disasters. So my daily newspaper is a tabloid. The other good thing about a tabloid is that you can read in two minutes on the way to work. It is often full of the reviews of the week and I find that quite interesting. That's all I want.

Three

I get a so-called quality newspaper on Sundays because it gives me a good summary of world events, but I also buy tabloids two or three times a week. People are critical of the pictures and stories of the royals and the problems that have been published in the tabloids, but I don't agree. Why shouldn't we know how they're spending our money? They are public figures, and only the tabloids give you the details - the other papers are too respectful.

Now analyze the opinions of the people you have interviewed and write an article. Be objective and try not to subvert the information you’ve got. Good luck!
