I interviewed two cyclists this past week (one on the phone, one in person), and enjoyed the reporting process a lot. Back with Reporting 1 and Reporting 2 we did a lot of reporting for our stories, but since then I haven't done much interviewing. I definitely noticed I was a bit rusty at the start, but I generated questions to focus on before the interviews that kept me organized during the conversations. I think similar to the writing process, reporting is something that I need to practice regularly so I am able to conduct a solid interview and get good material for a story.
I am looking forward to writing pieces from the material I have now. Whenever I interview people for a story I always get really excited to see how well I can tell their story through my writing. That is what journalism is all about!
