A person new to the country

If I were to write an article about a person arriving into the country, I would go overboard. I would ask about their country's best dishes. I would ask about their family. I would ask about sports. I would ask about customs. I would ask about religion. I would ask just about everything. Why? As a journalist, one must have a variety to talk about. The article may turn out bland if not enough information was given through an interview. Sure one must write fast, but short notes can get the job done fast and efficient. Such a number of strategies just waiting to come into the open. However, overwhelming the interviewee is something to avoid. One must talk to them in a casual manner, as though they were a friend or a companion. Yes, so many topics covered, so many questions answered, and so many topics to write about. A plethora of knowledge is always good for a journalist.
