Hi Peter,

Found this because Lara tweeted it. Thanks so much for the mention and the compliments! I’ve got 2 years to go in my undergrad so we’ll see how things pan out. Really don’t know how I’ll make the leap to full time paid work, but we’ll see.

An interesting and stimulating post, thanks :)

Such a good grad I called you Paul rather than Peter….*slaps forehead*

Thanks very much for the nod in the final paragraph, Paul! I’m very humbled by it.

Comment on The Journalist and the Murderer – the art of interviewing by Peter Moore

Hi Ed. I’m not suggesting that all interviews run to the same agenda – I’m just interested in the journalist/subject relationship that exists within them.

Oh come on now, you think every interviewer is out to set up the guest to achieve the agenda of the interviewer? No way! I am a talk show host coach and I can tell you that there are plenty of instances to support what you say. That said, there are plenty of interviewers using open ended questions that allow the interview to take it’s own course. In the final analysis, it depends on the show it runs in if it is a broadcast interview. Some shows insist on an agenda because their audience does. On the other hand some shows have an audience that will not tolerate this kind of interview.
