Nicole Young's Most Important Interviewing Tip

Nicole Young at the 2016 duPont-Columbia Awards. 

"The muscle in interviewing that so many people forget [is] not the question: it's the follow up."

In this episode, we spoke to Nicole Young, three-time duPont-Columbia Award Winner, 60 Minutes Producer, and Senior Producer for CBS' Scott Pelley. We asked her about her journey into journalism, her best advice for interviews, and how one unplanned question lead to the best moment in Hard Times, a story about homelessness in Florida.

Take a look at more of Nicole Young’s duPont Award-winning work: Deep Water Horizon, Tragedy in Newtown and A Crime Against Humanity.
