Anatomy of an interview: Craig McGill posts his Iain Banks source material

Journalist Craig McGill has posted a piece on his blog that offers an insight into the journalistic / editorial processes of the UK’s tabloid papers.

Craig recently interviewed Iain Banks for The Scottish Sun. In his blog piece he has posted the original audio file of the interview, along with the copy that he submitted to The Sun and a pdf of the final article as it was printed in the paper. He also invites journalism students to prepare their own piece from the audio transcript and submit it to the site for comparison purposes.
