Lately I have become involved with The Chimes and so the topic of problems with interviewing people on the record at Biola has become an issue of which I have recently been made well aware. The main issue that I have come to find is that quoting people or keeping the integrity of their quote intact when interviewing them is very difficult. It is hard to get exactly what they said and figure out how to get in to fit into you article.
Another obvious problem to me has been that people are sometimes unwilling to talk on the record. A lot of people close down when they know that everyone will be able to see what they say. People don't want to be judged, or criticized. Getting sources to open up has been a problem, but I know by developing my interviewing techniques, I will succeed at getting people to open their thoughts to me a lot easier.
