How SportsBoom Conducts Effective Interviews?
Our interviews aim to humanize athletes and bring across real and raw emotion to a greater sporting audience. The athlete is still human at the end of the day and so showing him or her respect is essential.
In an effort to really make our interviews relatable, they are recorded accurately using various methods to ensure that clarity and detail are maintained throughout the process.
Types of Sport Interviews
There are three main types of interviews which we often conduct. Namely, news interviews, in-depth profiles and post-game analysis.
News interviews focus on timely events and attempt to break the latest news for our audience.
In-depth profiles explore personal stories and bring the humanity of the athlete to life.
Post-game analysis breaks down results and key moments from a particular sporting event.
Why Are Sports Interviews Important?
Fans are given a real and unfiltered experience of their favourite sporting athletes. It isn’t just their performance that is highlighted but also their emotions, challenges and personal struggles or stories.
Through interviews, fans are given the opportunity to grow stronger connections based on the fact that they inevitably create an opinion on the athlete.
Ethical Considerations in Sport Interviews
Objectivity and fairness are of paramount importance through sport interviews. Leading or biased questions not only undermine the interview itself, but they also communicate a false narrative based on a personal agenda.
SportsBoom prioritises ethical storytelling and accurate representation – ensuring a fair and accurate representation of all parties.
