Who do you think is the best interviewer on television, traditional radio, and Internet radio?

Sorry guess my answer comes so late...I agree totally with your analysis of Charlie Rose....even the way the interview scene is lit-up...all around except the interviewer and interviewee are lit...helping in holding the attention of the audience. He's my favorite alright, but I keep missing the show times in my area.

At least for the past year I am liking Piers Morgan who's replaced Larry King on CNN. There's a seriousness and a certain humor in which he tries to make the interviewee come out with answers, tho some of his questions are too personal...if they refuse to answer he handles it positively on the show. Also I noticed that he tries to bring in people who maybe involved in current day politics and trending subjects too.

I know he's no longer living, but I always thought NBC's Tim Russert was the best interviewer. He had a tendency to really prod at a person to get answers, but he was always fair, and he never let any of his personal opinions influence who he asked tougher questions. He also had this great ability to sit back and let his subject say everything they wanted to say without interruption, which is so rare with interviewers nowadays (like Chris Matthews, for example).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
