TV Interview Techniques

Part I demonstrates techniques for conducting a successful TV news interview, from putting the subject at ease to getting
all the coverage you need for the edit. The development of an actual interview is analyzed and the segment concludes with
the final edited version. A second section covers the somewhat different approach required for a current affairs interview.
Here the emphasis is on advance research and questions that probe for conflict between interviewees and the record, their
critics or their previous statements.
