Many do not know that interviewing a celebrity, politician, or a random person on the street involves more than just carrying a microphone or a camera.
This was the reason MHNG, Nigeria’s network of leading media professionals in conjunction with the School of Media and Communication of the Pan Atlantic University organized a one day workshop for journalists and media professionals titled The Art of Interviewing. This training took place on Tuesday 23, May, 2017.
Participants at The Art of Interviewing workshop put together by MHNG Network.
The convener of the media initiative and the CEO of Urban 10 Hub Limited, Miss Rosemary Egabor, stated that the training was important because interviews are used to expand upon the basic “who, what, where, how, when and why” of news gathering in whatever beat a journalist may cover, and it is the information gathered and dispersed that the public relies and acts on.

According to her, the workshop was a response to the need of the Nigerian media for capacity building to make it respond to global best practices and serve the needs of an emerging economy like Nigeria.
