ABSTRACT
The basics of every print interview apply equally to broadcast interviewing; preparation, research, questioning and listening, and good writing skills. However the broadcast ‘package’ also requires quality audio and strong visuals, and can include voicers, standups, wraps and actualities. All these components are explained using current examples in this chapter. Key principles and techniques are provided by accomplished journalists Ralph Begleiter (CNN), Jaime FlorCruz (CNN) and Travis Parry (Al Jazeera). The use of live video conferencing platforms including Skype and Zoom is covered as are podcasts and video journalism.
