An interview is a structured conversational method for gathering information, designed by humans for research, journalism, recruitment, and investigation. It operates through a planned sequence of questions posed by an interviewer to an interviewee, governed by protocols that ensure consistency, relevance, and ethical standards. The mechanism of persistence is institutional training — taught in research methodology programs, journalism schools, and HR departments — and codified in professional standards that vary by domain (clinical, journalistic, academic, corporate).
