Journalists in the News: The art of the political interview
The Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has come out fighting in 2024 – already agreeing to be grilled in TV interviews by Laura Kuenssberg and Piers Morgan.
And later this week ITV will broadcast “Rishi Sunak: Up Close” – a programme that promises to deliver to some personal insights into the famously image-conscious prime minister.
Deputy political editor of ITV News, Anushka Asthana, got rare access to Sunak as he returned to his family home in Southampton and joined him as he watched Saints at St Mary’s.
Media watchers and Tory strategists will be carefully watching how Sunak performs.
They’ll want to see if he can handle the confrontational approach of the sit-down interviews, while also coming across a a normal human being in the long-form documentary format.
