news interview
Reporter asks questions
A news interview is a conversation between a journalist and a subject, conducted to gather information for reporting.
The interviewer asks questions; the subject—often a politician, expert, or witness—responds.
News interviews range from brief on-the-street clips to extended sit-down sessions: The senator gave a news interview about the scandal.
The format emphasizes extracting newsworthy statements rather than casual conversation.
