Are you looking for the public’s opinion on a particular topic or eyewitness accounts to major events? You might want to get some MOS aka "Man On the Street" interviews. NBC News Correspondent Vaughn Hillyard talks about his tips and tricks to get people to open up to journalists.
"Folks will tell you what the story is - listen to them," said Hillyard. "That’s the value of talking to folks on the street."

Great video! I’d love to know how to appropriately introduce yourself and ask them for an interview in a way that they would want to take part in, I get really nervous and can’t get people to answer.

That's a great question. You can see a little bit of that when Vaughn was approaching people for this piece - he would go up to them and just introduce himself, his affiliation (NBC News), and say he has a quick question. Check out the video we did on Local News Reporting to see more of that - Melissa Colorado just introduces herself and asks if they have opinions and usually by that point people are more than happy to talk! nbcuacademy.com/local-news-reporter/

Do you get a written consent from the interviewees?

@NBCUAcademy Жыл бұрын

Hi Aleksi - in news we normally have verbal consent rather than any written release form.

Reporters can be nervous but remember that with repetition you can get the nerves worked out of you! Using the tips we outlined here can help alleviate some of these fears.

@@NBCUAcademyhow do you recommend doing this without a camera person? Any more tips for doing MOS?

@Dateconomics Ай бұрын

Yes you have to accept the fact that there are rude people and get over it. It does get easier with time. Don't ask if you can record them right away. Just ask if you can talk to them for a second and then explain to them what you're doing.

aren't these also called vox pops

@NBCUAcademy 8 ай бұрын

Yes they are also sometimes called vox pops! We spoke to some of our colleagues about this. We have found that many of our dot com colleagues refer to them as vox pops, and in the UK, vox pop is a more common term. Here in the US, and especially in TV news, we refer to them as MOS.
