Interview Nation
Interview Nation profiles three of the world’s top television journalists, people they’ve interviewed and other interesting interviews on a variety of broadcasting networks. Interviews were selected based on relevance to business, politics, entertainment and philanthropy.
Interviews serve many purposes. One purpose is to inform and entertain audiences. Journalists are able to represent the everyday person, where the interviews allow them the opportunity to ask questions the general public would not have the chance to ask. Individuals being interviewed, whether the individual is a famous celebrity, a politician, a businessman or military hero, the interviewee gets a chance to share his or her side of the story or give insight about the interviewee. Celebrities, politicians and business figures also use the medium of an on-air interview as a way to promote movies, campaigns, businesses and charitable works.
Interview Nation features the world’s top journalists; such as: Barbara Walters, Katie Couric and Charlie Rose. Some of the broadcasting companies featured on this site, include: ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX and PBS.
Though she is well-known for her popular shows, “The Barbara Walters Specials: Most Fascinating People” and “The View”, her legacy is that she was the first female Primetime Anchor for ABC News. She was also the first female journalist on the Today Show.
The Today Show had been one of NBC’s lowest-rated programs before Couric anchored it in 1991. Fifteen years since then, Today has been earning the highest ratings among US morning shows. For her outstanding work, NBC has given her a yearly paycheck of $13 million. Due to the show’s success, there has been a palpable paradigm shift in television as of late, with more ads increasingly placed in morning timeslots.
The Charlie Rose Show has interviewed some of the greatest newsmakers, celebrities, politicians, athletes, businesspersons, scientists and writers in the world.
