A resource for TAs in Carleton University's Master of Journalism program. Thursday, September 17, 2009. Interviews and discussion groups: strangely similar. As I got ready to run some workshops on effective discussion groups, I realized something. A discussion group is just like an interview. Here are the basic concepts that apply to both running a discussion group and conducting an interview:.
