Not that this has to be investigative journalism or that the interviews need to have an antiseptic coldness to them, but too much time is spent on Jacoby relating to his subjects rather than getting answers. Sometimes an interviewee doesn’t give a clear answer, and rather than asking for clarification, things tend to just move on. But it’s early days, and interviewing is an art.
