English to French Other Journalism

TV interviews
• Dress appropriately – avoid stripes, checks, bright colours.
• If sitting down, don’t slump. Sit upright?
• Keep you hands down near your lap and away from your face
• Keep your gaze aligned with the interviewer’s eyes.
• Never look at the camera
• If doing TV ***down-the-line***, you must look directly at the centre of the camera.

Ask a journalist for details of:
• Publication / programme
• Contribution required: background only, newsclip, live, panel guest
• Deadline / on-air time
• Who will do the interview
• Will it be live, recorded, by phone or ***down-the-line*** by radio car / TV van
• Who else is being interviewed
• If other contributors, will you be interviewed at the same time as them ? if in doubt, do a broadcast interview live – you cannot be taken out of context.
