Journalistic Interview
It is a type of dialogue that is established between two or more people, directed
by the person who takes the role of the interviewer, who is mainly in charge of
formulating the questions and conducting the conversation. A large part of the
process will depend on his or her activity. He should ask the questions in a natural
way and provide a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere in which the interview runs
smoothly. The questions asked should be short and express exactly what you want to
know so that the interviewee has the opportunity to respond in the same sense.
It is important to distinguish the interview from a conventional or informal
conversation. It is focused, in particular, on an interest in knowledge about a specific
opinion, experience or information.
In addition to the oral format, it is possible to observe it in written form in
different physical media such as newspapers and magazines, mainly, although it is
also possible to present it on television, radio and web.
It is necessary to take into account that the journalist must make use of a series
of resources that allow him/her to correctly prepare the interview. He can resort to
archives, documents, books, magazines, newspapers.
Preparation is perhaps the most important stage. In this section, you can initially
choose the person to be interviewed and the topic on which the meeting will be
developed. On the other hand, key aspects must be specified at this time, such as the
day, place and time of the interview.
It is possible to identify the following types of interview:
Profile interview is an approach to the interviewee’s biography and it is based
on a series of documentary sources.
Opinion interview is a type of interview in which the questions are formulated
to know the ideological aspects and position in relation to a determined fact, a subject
or any other situation.
In interview with the specialist the questions are asked to an expert or specialist
in a specific field.
Thus, the journalistic interview is a planned conversation in which, through
questions, one gets to know about a person, fact or topic of interest in greater depth.

An Interview: the special features and types.
Although the question-and-answer interview in journalism dates back to the
1850s, the first known interview that fits the matrix of interview-as-genre has been
claimed to be the 1756 interview by Archbishop Timothy Gabashvili (1704–1764),
prominent Georgian religious figure, diplomat, writer and traveler.
Interviews involve asking questions that reflect the information sought as
clearly, yet conversationally, as possible. They require listening to and analyzing
answers, while at the same time figuring out what to ask next. Interviewers must be
nimble, ready to react in the event an answer results in a change to the direction of
the conversation or, more significantly, the article being pursued.
The quality of sources, the depth of the questions, the understanding of the
subject, and the ability to transmit that subject information to others are key to
successful journalism.
There are some challenges journalist face in communicating conversationally:
distractions, like texting while others talk, asking closed questions that require oneword responses, talking about what we know instead of finding out what others
know.
While doing interview distracted communication comes from scribbling instead
of making eye contact and worrying so much about what question comes next that
you fail to hear what your source is saying about the current question.
There are different types of interviews:
Meet-and-greet interview: when a reporter wants to take the time to meet and
speak with you in person;
Background interview: when a reporter discusses trends you see in your
industry, potential future story ideas and the like;
On-the-record interviews are the most straightforward. They involve questions
the reporter seeks answers to, typically for a specific story, and are pretty much a sure
bet for being quoted and visible. Sometimes a reporter will provide a list of questions
in advance;
Off-the-record interview: reporters are interested in off-the-record interviews
when they are doing initial groundwork for a potential story but don’t yet have

enough material to move on. While off-the-record is intended to create a safe zone in

3. face

4. one-word responses
d. однозначные ответы
5. eye contact
e. глубина вопросов
6. the direction of the conversation
f. Направление беседы
7. understanding of the subject
g. Гибкий, сообразительный
8. closed questions
h. Понимание предмета
conversation.
Email interview: involves exchanging questions and answers solely through
email communication;
Broadcast interview: the interview on radio or television, etc.
There may be pros and cons to each interview type, and sometimes an interview
will be a combination of the above.
