Researching Articles- Questions

Researching articles
I looked through some of my music magazines that I had at home, and some of the ones that were at school to research what sort of questions bands or artists usually get asked in interviews. 

     I found out that most of the questions for the genre that I am doing, alternative, are quite general and vague, directing the attention on the artists' music or upcoming tours rather than the artist themselves.

Examples include: 

  • "What are your favourite tracks on the album?"
  • "What's the best memory from this tour?"
  • "Can you see yourself doing this in a few years time?"
The interviewer tends to stay clear of more personal questions that you're more likely to see in a pop music magazine or even a gossip magazine. For example, in my research I never came across a question like, "Are you dating anyone new?" or "How does your family feel about your new-found fame?" Questions like these would not be conventional for my genre, and so I will not be using them in my article.
