How do I interview people (for the press, not for jobs)? | Ask MetaFilter is just a terrific comment I tripped over, especially for those doing user research.
Eldritch's comments _were_ good, thanks so much. If you can pick up a copy of this month's Columbia Journalism Review, there's a very thoughtful essay , "Why writing with a sense of place takes time — and why it’s worth it" by Robert D. Kaplan. It's an extremely thoughtful piece about travel writing.
Unfortunately it is not one of the pieces that is online, but if you can go to your library and get a copy or just start a subscription to CJR to get this article I think you will be rewarded.
