Focusing on many-to-one political news interviews, this study adopted a conversation analysis to explore how interviewers construct questions collaboratively and establish their positions. By conducting a case study on Face News, this study discovered that the host on this program typically remains neutral by returning the discussion to a normal question-and-answer system. In addition, by reformulating other interviewers' questions and issuing follow-up questions, this host manages to conduct confrontational interviews while still maintaining his/her neutral stance. Furthermore, by mixing casual conversations into the discussion, the host creates a friendly environment for guests and enables a political interview to be casual in nature. Finally, this study demonstrated that the host is less adversarial than other interviewers because the host tends to ask questions attributed to third parties and employ questions that are more open-ended. By contrast, the other interviewers do not hesitate to express opinions directly, ask multiple questions in succession, and ask more follow-up questions than the host does. |
