Features: This book is refreshing. Based on drawing on research findings in Chinese and foreign news interviewing studies, the author meticulously constructs the content, cites extensively, integrates knowledge comprehensively, and presents it in an accessible manner. It achieves a good balance between academic rigor and readability, systematic structure and practicality, theory and practice, demonstrating high academic standards and practical value. Readers can not only absorb theoretical knowledge in news studies but also grasp the general principles of news interviewing. They can also learn the techniques of news interviewing, enabling them to collect and analyze news facts more consciously and effectively. Additionally, readers can hear the interview experiences of renowned journalists from China and abroad in the book, drawing lessons from the past to reflect on the present, and follow their pens to explore vivid scenes of journalists engaging with interviewees: how the great leader Deng Xiaoping skillfully deflected the sharp questioning of the famous journalist Oriana Fallaci; how the esteemed Lu Xun calmly responded to the direct inquiries of the famous journalist Edward Snow; how the American statesman Henry Kissinger fell for the ruse of a female journalist; and how the former Iranian King Mohammad Reza Pahlavi struggled to resist the relentless pursuit of the famous journalist Bill Wallace. It is a book worth reading from cover to cover. I believe that whether it is seasoned journalists with years of experience or newcomers just starting out, they can all find inspiration in it.
