Featuring Emmy Award-winning writer, director, and documentary producer
Patti Obrow White, this program explores the art and science of conducting
journalistic interviews. White shares her knowledge of numerous topics, such
as preparing to meet the subject, establishing a relationship quickly,
understanding the pressure points of an interview, speaking with children,
and dealing with difficult subjects like “the reactor,” “the avoider,” “the
salesman,” and “the bad guy.” The result is an excellent resource for
aspiring reporters, writers, and documentary producers, as well as police
officers, private investigators, and attorneys. Employers—and job applicants
seeking an employer’s perspective—will also benefit from White’s advice. (46
