News interviews and entertainment interviews can take a similar path
but can still be totally different! I have specifically selected an
entertainment interview and a news interview to identify exactly what
differences they have. The entertainment interview selected was broadcast on
morning television program Sunrise and Channel 7. It was an interview with
Khloe Kardashian that went viral when the Kardashian producers pulled the plug.
The news interview selected was also from Channel 7 Sunrise program on the 2011
Queensland Floods.
The entertainment interview introduced the interviewee by saying; ‘A
lady who needs no introduction at all, Khloe Kardashian joins us live….’ It
then went on to ask personalized questions in regards to the purpose of the
interview, which was the launch of a clothing line. Questions asked included,
‘Tell us about the new collection?’ and ‘Is this what you always wanted to do?’
The interview was light hearted however there wasn’t any real humor from either
the interviewer or interviewee. The interview ended very abruptly. With the
producers of the interviewee pulling the plug on the interview. This interview
had conflict management at all and was clearly evident as the first sign of
potential conflict the interview was terminated.
The news interview was significantly more professional,
well-directed and managed then the entertainment interview. It had two persons
being interviewed the first a news correspondent reporting from the effected
area and the second a representative from the weather channel. The interviewees
where introduced formally with the lead journalist introducing them with,
‘Sunrise correspondent Michelle Tapper is on the ground in the center of town…’
Questions asked where formal with direct and informative answers. This
interview had no humor and remained professional. There was no potential for
conflict in this news interview as it was solely factual.
Both interviews where similar in their purpose to distribute
information to the audience. However there way of doing so was different.
