exclusive interview
One outlet only
An exclusive interview is one granted to a single journalist or outlet, with no other media given access.
The exclusivity makes it more valuable—a scoop that competitors can't match.
Publications trumpet the term to signal they have content unavailable elsewhere: In an exclusive interview, the senator discussed her resignation.
The word exclusive does much of the work; the full phrase appears mainly in promotional contexts.
