The Interview
One long conversation at a time with a person who works inside the change this record documents. Transcribed in full, edited for length only, and checked against the entries.
No interview has run yet.
The format is fixed and the first subject is being approached. When a conversation is worth a reader’s half hour it is published here in full, with the questions left in.
How it will read
The questions stay on the page. Nothing is paraphrased into a profile, and no quotation is moved to a place in the conversation it did not occupy. Where a subject makes a claim the record can check, the entry that checks it is linked beside the answer.
Subjects see the transcript before publication and may correct facts about themselves. They do not get to remove an answer they regret giving.
