Quiz results 1What kind of citizen media producer are you? Mostly A's: Your site is a platform for opinions, and you prize the immediacy of first-hand views. You probably don't use many traditional interviews, and may not see the need to do so. That's OK - this module can tell you how to incorporate more voices in non-traditional ways, and how those voices can strengthen and enliven -- not dilute -- your arguments. Chapter 1, "To Interview ... or Not to Interview," will be particularly useful to you. See Chapter 1. Mostly B's: You see yourself as a resource for your audience, and like to informally collect ideas and information in the world around you. You already are interviewing, whether you know it or not. This module will show how thinking like an interviewer will give your site more appeal and humanity, and how to incorporate everyday conversations into interview material in ways that won't make your friends and neighbors uncomfortable. Chapter 4, "Ethics of Interviewing," will be particularly useful to you. See Chapter 4. Mostly C's: Interviews are a part of your repertoire, and you've already used them to bring a range of voices to your site. This module will help you sharpen your interviewing skills, make the most out of your conversations with sources and find new ways to present interview material. Chapter 3, "Interviewing Tips," will be particularly useful to you. See Chapter 3. Mostly Ds:You're as much a community organizer as a citizen media producer, and you see media as a powerful tool for more civic engagement. For you, developing an expansive and flexible approach to interviewing -- one that isn't limited to long, sit-down inquiries -- can create more ways for readers to engage with your site and the issues. Chapter 2, "Types of Interviews," will help you brainstorm ways to do this. See Chapter 2. Take quiz 2
