ACCESS INTERVIEWS.COM

Access Interviews is a unique index to the world's interviews. We have joined forces with major print publishers, leading broadcasters and respected journalists to provide direct links to their work. Access Interviews also encourages a collaborative editorial. We want our community to choose which interviews appear on our site. If you have spotted a great interview then why not up-load its location and share it. Access Interviews was founded by English author and journalist Rob McGibbon and launched on 7th January 2008. McGibbon has been interviewing high profile personalities for 20 years and is a regular judge in the annual British Press Awards - often in the 'Interviewer of the Year' category. He knows that the business of interviewing is all about access. Without it, you have nothing. Only the best writers and most trusted publishers get access. Access Interviews.com is your access to their work - and their access to YOU.

Website to aggregate all journalistic interviews


By Jean Yves Chainon

Rob McGibbon, a freelance journalist in the UK, has launched a website, AccessInterviews.com, that aims to offer a comprehensive collection of journalistic interviews. If successful, this site will certainly become an invaluable resource for all journalists – and readers.

McGibbon hopes to make Access Interviews become the referential index to the world’s past and present interviews feature online. It will also serve as a promotional tool for publishers with exclusive interviews who want to draw readers to their own sites.

Access Interviews will be free for users and sustain itself through advertising as well as sponsorship.

Says McGibbon:

“Also, more interviews are appearing online as magazines and newspapers open up their archives. By generating the links to this content on an independent site such Access Interviews, publishers will attract new premium web traffic deep into their sites.

“I think this will have particular appeal to magazines that get amazing celebrity access but have modest print circulations and low web traffic.

“Journalists and web editors hold the keys to the archives, so I appeal to them to get digging and post the links.

“My ambition is to archive every interview since the genre began in 1859.”

The site will also feature filmed interviews with celebrities carried out by McGibbon.
