NEWS coverage is enriched by exclusive interviews of newsmakers. These give audiences direct, first-hand information on issues from key individuals in response to pertinent questions. 

Interviewers should be engaging and personable, but never arrogant or ignorant. They should coax or tease the fullest answers from their guests, empathising with the subject matter without necessarily sympathising with the interviewee.
