Exclusive: Newly Published Mark Twain Essay, 'Concerning the Interview' | The Rundown News Blog | PBS NewsHour | PBS: "Thanks to the Mark Twain Foundation and its trustees, the PBS NewsHour brings you for the first known time in print an essay by the American literary giant on a topic dear to our hearts -- the journalistic interview. In the course of Twain's career, he was frequently interviewed by reporters. The 10-page handwritten essay has been sitting for more than 40 years in the archives of the Mark Twain Project at the University of California, Berkeley. It was written in either 1889 or 1890, a time that coincided with the rise of 'yellow journalism.'"

I thought Mark Twain's comments on interviews were spot on.
