Project milestone one
you have just been hired as a health and wellness reporter at the local station wfvs! congratulations and welcome aboard!
for your first news assignment, you will be interviewing family members, friends or someone else you may know about what they may have seen in the media about some of the health issues you have read about.
interview four different people and be sure to get all of their necessary information for your report. you can use a sound recording device, a video recorder, or just take notes, but be sure to keep all of your information that you have gathered! you will need it later!
ask each interviewee at least 10 questions about health. you can make up your own interview format, or use this as a starter, but make sure you include all of that important information!
interviewee name:
age:
gender:
job:
date and time of interview:
1 what are some major health concerns that you have?
2 are there ways that you know you can prevent these health concerns (or other concerns like obesity)?
3 if you need to find out more about a specific health issue, what do you do? be specific. (don’t let them say “look on the internet”, because we have already learned that not everything on the internet is reliable! they should tell you a specific site if they use the internet as a source.)
4 what do you think is the biggest health concern facing our country?
5 what are some things that you do to monitor your health?
6 how do you monitor your food and water intake now?
7 how would you get the word out about this lifestyle change?
8 how do you think the media influences what concerns we have for our health?
9 how does it feel to have one of your health concerns?
10 what can you do to cure your health concerns?
remember that you must ask ten questions, so you need to think of some more on your own! make sure you ask them about how they keep healthy and what they do to make sure they are on top of their health game! be sure to keep all of your information and interview notes. you may also want to ask each person if you could ask them more questions later if you need more information from them. when you complete your final project, you will need all of your interview data; so keep it handy!
