Shifting Interview Landscape
- Paxman's aggressive interview style with Chloe Smith in 2011 contrasts sharply with today's political interviews.
- Ministers now frequently decline interviews, and Prime Ministers like Rishi Sunak conduct fewer, reflecting a shift in political engagement.
Evolution of Interview Style
- The dramatic, combative style of political interviews, exemplified by Jeremy Paxman, has evolved.
- The focus has shifted from aggressive confrontations to more controlled conversations where interviewees are allowed to speak.
Politicians' Confidence
- Politicians today are not necessarily more controlled than in the past, but perhaps less confident.
- They avoid long-format interviews and in-depth interrogation, possibly due to the digital age and alternative communication avenues.
