Interviewing in the Digital Age

After reading through Tompkins’s “Aim for the Heart” chapter 6, I thought about how technology influences the interview processes. He made a lot of good points, touching on a few that are probably familiar to most people already. The most interesting things that came to mind during this reading, however, were the changes in technologies over the past few years.

What is the best way to interview someone if that information is going to be filtered into written stories for publishing or alternative story forms?
