Art of doing an interview: Class Assignment: Batch of 2026
DEPARTMENT OF JOURNALISM
Lady Shri Ram College for Women
Paper: Reporting and Editing for Print
Semester: 2
This activity was given to the batch of 2026( current first years) as part of Reporting and Editing for Print (REP) practical exercise under Dr. Vartika Nanda’s supervision.She heads the Department of Journalism at LSR.
Since the curriculum includes the ‘art of interviewing in print media’, it was a golden opportunity for students to put their learnt skills into practice with an on-ground interview. The class was elated to push their boundaries and try something totally different and new.
The class divided themselves into groups of 2 or 3 for this task and brainstormed about the interview process and most importantly decided their respective interviewees. This was a challenging task as the students also had to take into consideration the interviewee’s availability and time commitments for smooth conduction of interview.A deadline was then unanimously decided by the class for the submission of a rough draft of questions.
The students thoroughly enjoyed framing the questions, combining them in a cohesive whole and then putting them out in front of the interviewee and lastly,transcribing it.
The class was given sufficient time for the successful completion of the activity. The entire class, a strength of 34, worked diligently to submit their interviews by 26th May, 2023.
