- The interviewer introduces the first character being interviewed by name and occupation.
- (Interviewed characters can be directly from the story, related to those characters, or "experts" on what's going on.)

- The anchor gives his reaction, then brings the audience back to the interviewer for a new interview subject.
Closure :
- Repeat the process until two or three interviews have been completed
Variations :
- Set a time limit for each interview, increase the number of interview subjects, have a special guest interview subject available "via satellite" to be interviewed by the anchor, or select a current event in the news and reveal the future ending of the situation.
