John Mayer’s Dirty mind and Lonely heart
Rolling Stones magazines does set a scene at the beginning of the article, letting you get closer to person before the interview. You can barely notice it is an interview because the author gives his own criteria about the subject, as if analyzing the character. It includes quotes from the person, but it never sets a standard format. Most interviews state a question and then the answer, while Rolling Stones includes an interview hidden within a story.
The 32-year-old singer-guitarist admits he prefers Continuum to his 2009 disc Battle Studies (”I know that I’m supposed to say that my newest is the best one. Bullshit,” he says), that he hasn’t stopped thinking about his split with ex-girlfriend Jennifer Aniston (”I’ve never really gotten over it. It was one of the worst times of my life”) and that his sex life has become an endless loop of new girls rejecting him in clubs (”Blowing me off is the new sucking me off!”).
It contains the context the person says in the interview yet it’s cut down into smaller sentences. It maintains the original sense given a clear view of the person’s character. The interview never gets boring and the analysis you make can differentiate from the ideas of the writer creating a discussion in your mind.
Everyone complains when presidents 'break promises.' But is that fair?
This article uses interviews of politics and experts on Obama's administration and his current work in the office. What I like most about this interview, is the humor in which the article is written. Politics can be boring to many people but Newsweek creates a humorous report.
"Stewart turned on the television. He tuned it to C-Span. Nothing doing. C-Span 2? Nada. What about C-Span Classic? Sorry. Not even "C-Span: English but with a Spanish Accent," it turned out, was broadcasting any negotiations. Stewart looked crestfallen. "What gives?" he whimpered."
