Well-known musicians, actors, athletes and even the owners of large sites are often approached by representatives of a magazine with a request for interviews. Often, media personalities themselves are looking for a publication that will be able to post information about their lives. In both cases, it is important that the interview is interesting for the readers.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the right magazine to publish your interview. Regardless of whether you choose it yourself, or representatives of any publication already contact you, the magazine must correspond to your field of activity, have a sufficiently high circulation (if you want to increase your popularity), be published throughout the country or even abroad. if necessary. It is also desirable that the magazine is already known to the public and has a professional approach to the creation of materials.
Step 2
Prepare in advance topics for discussion in an interview, or ask the journalist who has contacted you what sample questions he will ask. Plan the conversation and add in all the main points that you would like to share with the readers of the magazine. For example, musicians can share information about upcoming albums, recent performances, and upcoming events, while other famous people can share more about themselves and their personal lives that readers don't yet know.
Step 3
Be prepared for spontaneous questions from journalists. You may be asked unexpected, personal and even compromising questions to make the interview unique and rich in interesting information. Study the previous issues of the publication, pay attention to the manner in which the materials were published, and on what principles the journalists structured the interviews. Also think about what else you might be asked and how you should react to it.
Step 4
Check the final interview before publishing it. Some magazines can publish extremely scandalous articles full of gossip, while others even distort the information received, so you need to be ready to defend your rights and make sure that only accurate and necessary information reaches the reader.
Step 5
Prepare some of your latest high quality photos that can be posted on the pages of the publication. Often, for this purpose, the publication hires a special photographer who will take several pictures directly during the interview.
