Interview details
My voice is too decrepit to preform the interview over Skype or anything like that. I will be forwarding this, and the responses below, to scoop@wikinewsie.org, They requested it, maybe if they are interested in carrying out a Skype interview they can do that; but I think me putting the video together will be more than adequate. Plus a short slideshow in the video, related to the answers, will be interesting.

On-the-spot notes
In order to focus on their opinions and backgrounds in business and the arts, they were informed to answer the questions under the premise that people know who they are; this also ensures that they skip formalities, to get more informative and relaxed answers, and that the interview isn't about them pitching themselves or their products.

Details from broadcast report
Took a while longer to receive the video and audio files, that's my fault. I requested a multi-camera set-up, and seperate audio files. They graciously accommodated on both notes, and recorded on September 27th, 2014. I have received the audio files, and shall begin the transcription process ASAP. Their videographer was kind enough to edit the footage for Wikinews, once he has completed editing and sends me the files for conversion, I will submit the interview for review.

This interview covers what its like to be a new media start-up, personal questions for the founders, Christian media, and information for fans and the general public to understand their artistic and publishing history more.<<<<< That has an odd feel to it....not sure what is/isn't appropriate in there....might deserve a re-think.--Bddpaux (talk) 15:23, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
