How do I cite an interview in MLA?
Answer
MLA divides interviews into two broad classifications:
- published interviews, such as those in a magazine or newspaper, with and without a known interviewer.
- personal interviews (interviews or correspondence) conducted by you, the writer, and are not publicly available.
