exclusive interviews
One-outlet news talks
Exclusive interviews are conversations with a subject granted to only one journalist or outlet, giving them sole access to publish the content.
The exclusivity creates news value—readers can't get this information elsewhere.
Publications promote exclusives heavily: In an exclusive interview, the senator addressed the scandal for the first time.
The term often appears in headlines to signal special access.
