Abstract
Interviews produce textual data, they are interpretive, and are opened to new potentialities through video link-up applications, textual analysis software, digital archiving, and web hosting. This chapter is a methodological treatise based on research conducted via video interviews with journalists in New Zealand and the US. It outlines the benefits and limitations of adapting interview research as part of a Digital Humanities approach. The chapter is animated by a set of questions, including: (1) How are interview methods best adapted to digital contexts? (2) How can interviewing be incorporated into Digital Humanities as a field? and, (3) In the context of news production, how can interviews be used to critically investigate practices and theories of digital labor?
