Скачать или смотреть How Kristen Welker prepares to interview world leaders

Interviewing is a foundational skill in journalism. Kristen Welker, moderator of “Meet the Press,” knows that can be one of the most difficult to master.

“The best advice I ever received on interviewing is that interviewing is not about talking, it’s not about asking — it’s about listening,” said Welker. “If you are armed with the facts, if you’re armed with a good set of questions and follow-up questions, then when you hear something really significant, you’re present and you’re in the moment and ready to follow up.”

To prepare for the Sunday morning news show every week, Welker does extensive research, notetaking and mock interviews to anticipate various directions that conversations might take.

“When people come on ‘Meet the Press,’ they know that it’s going to be the most challenging interview that they could possibly have — and fair,” Welker said. “That is my goal with each interview.”
