Abstract
This paper examines the communicative interaction within the media interview. The types of turns that journalists choose when conducting an interview are examined. From a formal perspective, the initial turn contains an interrogative, an imperative or a declarative, or a combination of two of these utterance types. In communicative terms, all three types of utterance have a directive illocutionary force, as the response indicates. The conclusions base on data from media speech.
