Testimonials

The class was excellent! All of the students had 3 minutes to experience what it's like to be interviewed by the press. After the rest of the class had conducted interviews as member of the press corps, we began to better understand how to formulate questions, how to follow up on hints the interviewee might be throwing out, and how to ask hard questions.
