Reviews

YA --A comprehensive introduction to journalistic interviewing, presented in a logical and well-written manner. Schumacher moves from the general to the more specific as he fleshes out his ideas. Topics include research and preparation, types of interviews, structure, etiquette, and the finished product. Schumacher makes his point through the use of examples and anecdotes, and leaves the final decision as to style and method up to the individual. An invaluable tool for beginning and experienced writers alike. --John Lawson, Fairfax County Pub . Lib . , VA
