Interviews

Candidate interviews are an effective way to cover issues in a campaign while giving voters an opportunity to see how the candidates conduct themselves when asked questions. This format is useful for voters seeking to find out where candidates stand on issues, and to learn about their personalities. The traditional interview is done either one-on-one with a host or in a group setting in which a candidate interacts with several citizens or journalists. In either case, the candidate may be asked very general questions about his or her background and goals, or he or she may be asked specific questions on issues. This format works best with multiple cameras, allowing the audience to get the best sense of the interaction between interviewer and interviewee.
