"This study evaluates the content, structural frameworks, and journalistic integrity of three high-profile political television interviews broadcast in Mongolia and Russia. Specifically, the research looks at MNB’s live Q&A with Prime Minister G. Zandanshatar, the Russian Central TV annual press-conference-style feature with President V. Putin, and NTV Mongolia’s “Lkhagva’s Review” featuring former Prime Minister L. Oyun-Erdene.
While all three broadcasts exceeded 180 minutes-representing a massive commitment of airtime-their actual value to the public varied significantly. This analysis evaluates the cases by considering the viewpoints of the guests, the accuracy of the information, and the presence of different viewpoints. In addition, the paper analyzes the technical aspects of each program, focusing on the logical flow of the stories, the interview techniques used by the moderators, and their adherence to professional ethical standards.
The findings reveal a distinct gap in quality. Both the MNB and Russian Central TV broadcasts demonstrated a commitment to pluralism and constructive journalism, supported by structured participation and evidence-based discourse. In contrast, the NTV Mongolia interview, despite its unprecedented six-hour duration, suffered from a lack of diverse voices and a tendency toward repetitive, unsupported claims. Ultimately, this points to the growing risk of access journalism, where professional rigor is sacrificed for elite proximity. The study concludes that while the long-form interview remains a cornerstone of political accountability, its success depends on a foundation of logical inquiry and professional responsibility."
