Subject: You Interview: Big Stories that need Bigger Headlines
We're pleased to trial a new concept we're calling "You Interview," with the idea of encouraging greater interaction between our community and the people who make a difference in your community. Please read this query carefully, because it's unlike previous queries we've featured here in the past:
We're asking you to contact -- by phone or email -- a journalist or editor in your area and ask them some questions.
This week's topic: What's an important news story which they feel their audience needs to be more aware of? And why is this story so important?
Here are the rules you must follow. (Note: Council members should mark unacceptable any submission which is in breach of these rules).
1) The journalist or editor you interview can work offline, but must be represented (e.g. a staff page) somewhere on the Internet -- and you must provide the web address which contains his or her contact details, or their company's contact details.
2) You must inform the journalist or editor who you interview that you are a member of the Ammas.com network, and that the interview will be published on Ammas.com and its network of sites.
3) You must include the person's name, title, the name of their organization, and their location.
4) Then make sure you include your exact questions and the person's exact answers. The wording must be accurate.
You should also feel free, if you desire, to ask your interview subject additional questions related to the topic.
That's it! We look forward to some fascinating interviews!

Dear anony,
Its is very different question you posted. I think many did not get the point in the discussion and started giving interview tips but the discussion doesn't mean that.
It is a practical thing we need to give out over here. We are supposed to " Interview an INTERVIEWER". This is an an usual thing to do and we need dedicate our time and patience to get perfection in our work. Many in Ammas.com network are giving out different answers for this and no point in their response is in respect to the discussion putforth.
This dedicated work can only done by the people who have their network in society and have some time. But, many are not that dare to have a chat with journalist as they(journalists) don't have time to spent with us and indulge in the discussion.
I have contacted some of my friends who are working for NGOs and put my discussion with them.
Some of them had no time to have discussion as it is too long and some are busy with the schedule they have. But, atlast I posed some queries and clarified that I am supposed to collect some great information from top rated journalists and put the discussion in Ammas.com network which is high growing community day-by-day.
Many are thinking that Global Economy is more influenced now-a-days. They gave me information about crash in stock markets are literally related to global economy.
I wanted to give their details but as my friends privacy I am unable to share with all.
I am not giving exact details but i am generalising the topic I have discussed with them as I didn't collect the information formally.
Today's Stock markets and economy is more considered for many journalists of economy which is most considered for the development of a particular nation.
Liquidity of banks lead to collapse many financial institutions globally and there are many to get attacked by it. As, the inflation is coming down day-by-day which is a positive point for all we will be having reduction in prices of all commodities and industrially also.
As the crude is also getting its price-cut we will be seeing lower levels in petrol and diesel too.....
So, finally Our global economy is in high alert and we need to set them right by the help of government and many practices are being made for that.
If I had time to discuss about this I would first pose a question that " How long will it take to get in perfect state of global economy ?"..
I have collected least matter and sorry for this. I will do my best for the next queries..

Hi It is a very dificult assignment given by you. All journalists jnown to me are writing for other media magazines and websites and provide contents exclusively to those media. They are not ready to part with details you asked as they seem to sell their ideas for a cost to media and free of cost as you desired. Hence I could not get their names for printing or they are not willing to permit printing their names and other details. However, many of whom I contacted wanted highlighting the following headings:
1.concern on wars in different countries and the role of America in inducing or initiating those wars 2. A worldwide debate on should UA quit Iraq 3/ Effect on pollution of air and the effect of green house gases and ways to control and who should control. 4. How can the rich countries help poorer countries in the third world to omprove their overall economy 5. Should we control population growth worldover 6. Focus on study of science 7. Feasibility of Single world level currency
Though providing the above topics for discussions needing attention, the journalists have not permitted me to provide their names for printing.
