What do they want?
• Expert interviewees hate having their ideas simplified, assumed, contradicted, dismissed… (can give the impression that you haven’t done your ‘homework’)
• They must know what they’re expected to talk about – fully debriefed, and possibly have the questions up front and approved by them
• They will still talk about their specialism, even if you don’t want them to

What do others want to hear?
Interviews online are usually a distraction – keep it short and to the point
People want to hear things that are topical, cutting-edge and original – keep attention
Often we find things that confirm who we are

Activity• Read through the interview with the expert media interviewer

parts would you include?– How would you present this information? – How would you re-format it? What would the shape of the feature
look like? How would you lay it out?
