“consider how the reporter writes the story in a manner which may cause you to come away with a substantially different impression than if you had just read the transcript”
Think about how many stories about subjects you have read without having had access to the transcript.
That’s why I vastly prefer podcasts and other long form interviews, and ideally an in-person meeting, when trying to get a sense of someone.
On a positive note, it is rare that the media release the transcript along with the article. Time should be complimented for doing so here.
