Interrupted Interviews

This chart illustrates the interviewing style of each anchor on the 24-hour cable news networks’ primetime programming (Jan. 21, 2002 – Jan. 25, 2002) in both interview-format programs and newscasts. It shows the proportion of all questions asked by each anchor that were initiated by interrupting the interviewee before the preceding answer was finished. CNN’s Keith Olbermann registered 0 percent interruptions.
