Interview Methods

Interview methods are techniques used to gather information through direct conversation with individuals. They can be structured, with prepared questions, semi-structured, allowing for some flexibility in questions, or unstructured, where the conversation flows more freely. These methods help researchers, journalists, or organizations understand opinions, experiences, or knowledge on a particular topic. By engaging interviewees in dialogue, these methods reveal insights that might not be captured through surveys or other data collection methods, making them valuable for gaining deeper understanding and context.
