In addition, here are some interviewing do's and dont's: be polite, explain the ground rules of the interview to people unfamiliar with how the media works (meaning you tell them the information they give you can and will be published), tape the interview (so if anyones comes back at you, you have proof of what you said), build a relationship with the person being interviewed, start with easy questions, end with difficult questions, read the body language of the person, and stay in control of the interview.

Everyone please post an example of a "good" questions and a "bad" question.
