What is a news interview?
The purpose is to gather information to explain an idea event or situation in the news. For a news profile the focus is on an individual.
For effective interviews, reporters prepare carefully and they ask questions that entice the person being interviewed to talk freely. Questions are directed at obtaining information on a theme that the reporter has in mind before beginning the interview. If a more important theme emerges, the reporter develops it.
The reporter notes what is said, how it is said and what is not said.
