Finding Interviews

The best place to look for interviews is probably YouTube.

The library's streaming services, such as Films on Demand, also contain interviews and can be a good source, depending on your topic.

CAUTION: Evaluate your source.  Make sure the source on the internet is credible, and not fake. Any self-published site, like many of those on YouTube are suspect. Make sure the person or group doing the interview is unbiased and abides by the best ethics of journalism.  In the box below is a highly respected, impartial infographic of major news resources to help you evaluate the journalist conducting the interview.

The most respectable unbiased news sources are in the cluster at the top of the graphic in the middle gray area.
