The Interview looks at the relationship between journalist and celebrity.
So we’re putting on a panel debate with people that do the interviews – radio and media journalists and current tv actors, about their experiences, good and bad!
Our moderator will facilitate a discussion around the following points:
• Examples of memorable interviews – bad and good!
• What builds trust
• Pressure to ‘get the story’ – The Publisher needs sales, The film / music company needs to get PR
• What do the public want to hear?
