NBA Star Holds Social Media “Fan Appreciation Week”
It wasn’t a season he expected. After undergoing ankle surgery last May, Golden State’s Stephen Curry planned to help the Warriors make a playoff run in 2011-’12. But the pesky ankle didn’t cooperate, limiting Curry’s season and Golden State’s postseason hopes. Despite their disappointment, many Warriors fans supported Curry with hundreds of social media messages over the past few months. To thank those fans for their faith and patience, the point guard ran a “Fan Appreciation Week,” which coincided with the final week of the NBA’s regular season.

That general knowledge could take your interview to an alternate storyline that provides usable “bonus” sound. Share Talking Points Ahead of Time I wouldn’t share your questions word for word, but when possible, provide the interviewee with a general idea of what you hope to discuss. This will get them in a familiar state of mind as far as the material is concerned. It will also help alleviate any anxiety they might have. Ask Open-Ended Questions Questions are critical.
