Description

“You can’t go in with no idea of what you might hope to get out of it, but you have to be open to what happens in the interview.”


As former host of Guardian Australia’s Full Story podcast, Laura Murphy-Oates speaks to people for a living. Here she outlines her rules for interviewing, including the pre-interview research process and how to structure questions. She describes the importance of an ethical approach, particularly when interviewing marginalised communities. The interview's purpose, she says, should always be top of mind. 


“Think about what the audience would want from the interview.”
