Different styles of the interview process are evident in the two interviews. The first one was more of a discussion between experts in the field. This roundtable style of interviewing presents several viewpoints on a specific topic. It is more of a discussion on the increase of the "embedding" and reporting in the war today because of the technology that now enable the increase in high-tech coverage. The roundtable discussion is organized to talk about several topics within the subject of high-tech broadcast of the wars today. They discuss the advantages and disadvantages of media in the wars today. Because of the wide variety of people being interviewed, there are several different perspectives that are applied to the situation. However, in the other interview with Professor George Ritzer, an entirely different approach to interviewing is taken. Instead of having a group of people discussing a topic, it is simply Q&A with one individual with knowledge on the subject matter. He discusses his idea of McDonaldization and thoroughly explains the impact it has on society. However, the only point of views and opinions are coming from one individual who has done extensive research on the topic of discussion. Although this format may not have as much diversity in its response compared to the first type of interview, this method more fully examines one viewpoint and is therefore more persuasive.
