Chicago Style Guide, for 17th Edition

Introduction

Published or broadcast interviews which are used as sources should be treated the same as a magazine, journal or book, and be cited as such. As always, materials which were accessed online should include a URL, and if the interview was accessed using a form of audiovisual material, an indication of the medium should be included as well.

Unpublished Interviews

Citations for unpublished and personal interviews should contain some or all of the following elements

1. Interviewee Name: (firstname middlename lastname), along with identifying information of interviewee, in parentheses (e.g. job title or company name). Exclude if interviewee wishes to remain anonymous.
2. Contact Method: (i.e. email message to; in conversation with; interview with)
3. Interviewer Name: (firstname middlename lastname)
4. Place: or date of the interview.
5. Location: where transcript or recording of interview may be found (if held by an organization).
