1. Broadcast interview

   • Broadcast interviews are a different ball game altogether. For television, an interviewee has to think through not only his or her interview responses but also physical appearance, tone and body language.

2. Background interview

   • This type of interview can be difficult to secure. Reporters are extremely busy and always on deadline, so when they want to take the time to meet and speak with you in person, it’s a definite positive.

3. Off- the record interview

   • Reporters are interested in off-the-record interviews when they are doing initial groundwork for a potential story but don’t yet have enough material to move on. While off-the-record is intended to create a safe zone in conversation ,you still should never say anything you don’t want to see published

4. Meet-and- greet interview

   • A standard background interview means that a reporter is interested in your knowledge based on his or her area of coverage. A background interview usually doesn’t result in a story right away, but it is a great way to establish yourself as a future subject matter source.

5. Email interview

   • Email interviews are actually quite ideal. They involve exchanging questions and answers solely through email communication, so there’s little margin for error and you can control your message completely.
