These are the examples/clips I used in today’s class:
The Q&A that goes with the flow: Tom Baker interview (Metro)
A great questionnaire format: Big Issue Letter To My Younger Self
Influential magazines/format: The “Who The Hell Does..” interview from Q magazine
Smash Hits magazine: Does your Mother play golf?
The longer profile/feature with use of setting/personal history: Floella Benjamin (The Independent)
The profile based on interviewing everyone except your subject:
Peter Higgs (Radio 4 Profile programme)
The interview that goes “wrong” and makes even better copy:
The group interview/added news element: Oh! What A Lovely War: Why the battle still rages (Matthew Sweet: Daily Telegraph)
The heart of the story: Tommy Robinson on Sunday Morning Live (BBC1): Also embedded at the top
