Turn 90 minutes of background interview tape into a 600-word reported piece

Writing Reporting Advanced 🤖 ChatGPT 👁 1 views

📝 The Prompt

You are a magazine editor. I just conducted a 90-minute interview with [SUBJECT] about [TOPIC] — here is the transcript: [PASTE_TRANSCRIPT]. Produce a 600-word reported piece (not a Q&A) that: (1) opens with a scene or detail that establishes who the subject is in three sentences; (2) builds around the single most surprising claim they made, used as the pivot; (3) braids in two direct quotes that earn their place — quote them only when paraphrase would be weaker; (4) ends with a forward-looking line, not a summary; (5) flags any factual claim that needs verification before publication. Use the subject's own language for jargon, not yours.

⚙️ Replace 3 placeholders: [SUBJECT] [TOPIC] [PASTE_TRANSCRIPT]

🚀 How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the prompt using the 📋 button above.
  2. Open ChatGPT (or Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or your preferred LLM).
  3. Paste the prompt into a new chat. Replace 3 bracketed placeholders ([SUBJECT] [TOPIC] [PASTE_TRANSCRIPT] ) with your own details.
  4. Run the prompt and review the AI's response. Most outputs are usable immediately.
  5. Iterate if needed — if the tone, length, or structure isn't quite right, reply with "make it shorter", "use bullet points", or "make it more formal" and the AI will refine it.

💡 Tips for better results

  • Replace the bracketed placeholders ([SUBJECT], [TOPIC], [PASTE_TRANSCRIPT]) with your own specifics before sending.
  • If the first output isn't quite right, ask the AI to refine, rewrite, or add more detail — iteration is key.
  • For long outputs, ask for a section at a time (e.g. 'start with the introduction only') to keep quality high.
  • Combine this with other writing prompts to build an end-to-end workflow.
  • Save your favorite variations — small wording tweaks often produce noticeably different results.
