V originále

The presentation focuses on (fragmented) interviews in TV news broadcasts and presents a study examining interviews and sound-bites included in BBC News channel’s 8 p.m. news programmes in the period of January/February 2021. The analysis focuses on the introductory passages preceding the sound-bites and names and identifiers (both written and oral) used to refer to the speakers. The aim of the study is to explore whether some discursive strategies included in the TV news broadcasts are capable of establishing the “type” of the speaker and whether the newsreader's introductory speech combined with the way the speakers are labelled can indicate the presence of an “expert”, an “ordinary person”, an “affiliated journalist” or a “public figure accountable”, based on Montgomery's (2007) types of news interviews. The study is a part of ongoing research focusing on news discourse and conversationalization of broadcast news.
