      To be honest, it's not something I'd do. I remember doing a press conference with our DSU athletic director about the school becoming an independent. I did the conference with the sports editor from the local paper and I ran the whole presser as is on my Saturday sports show. I didn't dub over the newspaper's questions and make them my own.

      The only time I would consider dubbing over questions is if during my interview, would be if it was during a phone interview and my audio quality was so lousy I needed to redub my questions.

      To me, it's a point of professional courtesy.

          I'd have to listen to it to get an actual understanding of it. Are they acting and passing the interview on as if they are giving it or are they just repeating the questions perbatum so you can understand them better? Its a very fine line, and can be interpreted very different by different people.

            Oh, no, they were pretending to actually talk to Nagy . . . calling him "Coach" and everything. You'd probably think it was a pretty decent interview - - - if you hadn't already heard the exact same answers from the conference call TV posted about three hours previous. And I don't recall that a single question on the call was actually asked by a KWSN personality.

              That might be stretching it a bit.

                Filbert's right. Creating a pretend interview from a teleconference where many reporters asked questions would clearly be unethical journalism. If the end result is misleading the listeners about the nature of the interaction, that's not acceptable. It's also just plain pathetic that the "reporter" wanted so badly to be part of the story that he would manufacture something like that.
                Holy nutmeg!
