Hurricane Irma and Haiti storm are among the recent natural disasters that have been
experienced. Both interviews reflect on the best interviewing tips necessary for an interview to
be effective and efficient. In both videos, there is a sense of respect depicted from the reporters.
In both scenes, there is a detailed coverage of the disasters, including some of the things which
may be viewed as insignificant such as pictures on the overview of the whole environment
(Haddow & Haddow, p. 150). In both videos, the survivors of the disasters have been
interviewed tactfully and sensitively. Interviewing the survivors gives a better understanding of
the tragedy as they were present at the time it occurred. Additionally, a precise count of the
affected and the killed are provided, including the property destroyed.

conducted as compared to that of Haiti storm. This is because the authorities are involved in the
discussion, giving a better insight of the disasters, unlike with the rain while only the survivors
are interviewed.
