media interview

Journalist questions someone

A media interview is a formal question-and-answer exchange between a journalist and a subject, conducted for publication or broadcast.

The term distinguishes interviews intended for news coverage from other contexts like job interviews or research interviews.

Subjects may receive media training to prepare for such encounters: The CEO's media interview went off the rails when she was asked about the layoffs.
