An increasing amount of television news knowledge is produced by conducting interviews. This paper proposes a framework for examining television news interviews as a form of knowledge. The definition of broadcast news interviews was broadened to include three types of interview: information, debate, and narrative interviews. Furthermore, the form of knowledge produced in television news interviews was investigated, and three fundamental levels for performing research on this type of knowledge were developed: (1) the verbal mode news interviewers and interviewees employ; (2) the multimodal analysis of television interview images, captions, and news footage; and (3) the audiovisual rhythm.
