Abstract
INTRODUCTION. The development of technological progress has brought a variety of opportunities in the contemporary journalism, and the most significant event was the emergence of Internet. For the rest 10–15 years, the network space has been actively developing, and its users have been becoming content makers – bloggers, more frequently. The interview genre has been and remains the most popular in journalism, and now in blogging. Interview is adapting to the new conditions, especially its video formats. The purpose of the study is to examine and theoretically comprehend the features of live interview, and the variants of interaction between the host and the audience.
MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study uses live broadcasts of the interview as the material of research. The following scientific methods are used in the study: a theoretical synthesis of literature devoted to the genesis of the interview genre and the phenomenon of live television, their current stage of development, as well as describes the viewed video materials.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. It was revealed that live online interview has several paradoxes. Firstly, only one person is being present in the frame, which contradicts with one of the main requirements of the interview – the presence of at least two people. Secondly, the host and the author of the program is not the interviewer, as it used to be on the television, but an interviewee.
CONCLUSION. The conversation and communication of the interlocutors in such conditions can still be considered a kind of interview, and its conduct is possible due to the high interactivity of the video format on the web.
