The Reporter's Notebook has been a very handy tool when it came to the interviewing process because it had many prompt questions which I could ask the subjects of my interviews. So far I have used the Reporter's Notebook (RNB) when I interviewed Elyse Branam for the Peer Profile and when I was doing my article for the September Setonian. I had never written a large news article that required extensive interviewing and was nervous. The RNB proved to be a great asset to me through out the process and I was even able to jot down some notes in it. I did feel like some of the story pitches that the book suggests were aimed at a younger, even elementary audience but other than that I have had no beef with the book thus far.
