Interview Technique Session

A working session on conducting interviews that produce usable material. Covers opening questions that settle a nervous subject, following an unexpected answer without losing the thread, returning to an evaded question later rather than pressing immediately, and closing in a way that leaves the door open. Includes practical notes on recording consent and note-taking that keeps pace.

What's included

  • One 100-minute session
  • Two practice conversations
  • Written feedback on your questioning patterns

Transcript and Quotation Handling

Guidance on moving from a recording to accurate published quotation. Covers transcribing in a way that preserves meaning, tidying spoken repetition without changing sense, marking where you have condensed, handling translation between Swahili and English in quoted speech, and keeping the original recording linked to the finished text. Suitable for reporters who quote extensively.

What's included

  • Two sessions of 75 minutes
  • Review of one of your own transcripts
  • A written handling standard to apply consistently

Oral History Project Support

Support for reporters gathering accounts from many people about events in the past. Covers designing a consistent question set that still allows for divergence, keeping records of who was spoken to and when, handling accounts that contradict one another, and deciding what belongs in publication versus the archive. Intended for projects of ten interviews or more.

What's included

  • Four sessions of one hour across two months
  • A written project structure
  • Consent wording and an interview log format
