Blog #2: Interview questions

Besides the five questions provided by the senior team, I would also like to ask my interviewee, Mimi Orth, these questions:

  1. What are traits or similarities that you find in successful yearbooks?
  2. What do you think makes a good editor?
  3. What do you think are the differences between regular journalism and yearbook/scholastic journalism?
  4. How does creative writing factor into yearbook copy?
  5. What is the best way to strengthen a yearbook’s theme?
  6. What do you think is the best way to help our photography?
  7. Are there any activities that you suggest our photographers do?
  8. What are the differences between ROP/artistic photography and Yearbook photography? How can I explain this to our staff?
  9. What do you think are the problem areas in design for the average yearbook staff?
  10. What kind of students should we look for when recruiting designers?
  11. What do you think are the most common misconceptions when coming into yearbook? How can we dispel these beliefs?
  12. Is there anything you would like to add about yearbook?
