Abstract

Rarely has the King of Spain agreed a journalistic interview. When he accepted to talk to journalist Jesús Hermida in Spanish Television on the occasion of his 75 birthday, viewers wished to witness a fluid dialogue on major issues that concern them: the result didn’t respond to these expectations. The more interview moves away from conversation rules (defiant on the part of journalist and cooperative on the part of the interviewee) the less quality and satisfaction produces.
