  3. (Open, Closed, Multiple , Direct, Suggestive?) Question Types What is an open question ? An open question is basically a question that is thought out well , to enable the person answering the question to give a more detailed and elaborative answer. The journalist that asks the questions would ask this question in many different forms such as – from a list, a few sentences , or maybe a paragraph to sum the question up for the person being interviewed. What is a closed question ? A closed question is easier, it’s a question asked where the response should be either a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’, for example - ‘Shouldn’t you go to bed now?’ Or ‘Are you feeling any better today?’ What is a multiple question? A multiple question is what it is really, it is a question within a question, for example - ‘Tell us about your race today? Do you feel as though you’ve done your self proud? ‘ This is an example of two questions being asked in one, it will make for more of a detailed answer, what journalists require when they are asking questions. What is a direct question ? A direct question is one which is just direct to a person, so for example – ‘Are you scared?’, ‘Do you know?’, ‘Are you crazy?’. Direct questions will put the person being interviewed on the spot more, so a bit more under pressure. What is a suggestive question ? A suggestive question is when the person interviewing suggest things in the question so that the person being interviewed has the option to either agree or disagree, and allows to elaborate, for example – ‘do you agree that most British football fans are hooligans?’ this is a suggestive question because it is forwarding already the fact the fans are, the person being interviewed would simply have to agree or disagree and elaborate his or hers point.
