Frum maintains "her cool" and continues with the interview while asking the questions she felt were important by saying Sandra's name repetedly until the woman who was being interviewed answered her. Also, she kept asking the same question until she received an answer.
I think the outcome would have been terrible if she had been more agressive or confrontational, because Frum was already being very nice and calm while asking the questions and kept her tone when she didnt receive her answer, and Sandra was getting very defensive, so if she had of became agressive, than Sandra would have gotten even more upset, and would have hung up a lot sooner than she did.
One question that Frum asks that i feel is an effective question is, "what was her condition when you last saw her, when did you last see her," because immediately after Frum asked the question, Good changed the subject to how people are hurting the environment. Also, Frum asked the question over and over and each time, Good became even more and more defensive and continued to change the subject.
As a student journalist, what I can learn from Frum's technique in case I ever have a interview that "went wrong," is to remain cool and do not become angry or frustrated if I am put down or called "a very bad reporter." Also, keep asking the questions that I feel are of importance until I get the answer.
If I had a chance to interview one person, it would be Taylor Swift, because she imspires me with her music and how she is not much older than me and has chased her dream of becoming a singer, and has succeeded greatly. I do not think it would be a tough interview, because she is so use to being interviewed and being asked questions on the spot. Also, that is all part of her career; being interviewed, and entertaining people.
