Abstract

This chapter provides a discussion on applying interview research in the economic newsroom. It puts the current research on economic news into context and outlines the benefits and practicalities of conducting interviews, using two tangible case studies – the reporting of the global financial crisis and sustainable finance – to demonstrate both the value of choosing the interview method and how the method works in practice. It introduces some key concepts, tips and practical approaches to this method and presents a guided activity.
