AccessInterviews: Website to aggregate all journalistic interviews
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.
