AGLC4 Rule 7.13: Interviews and Similar Formats

An interview is cited as Interview with the interviewee, followed by a bracket naming the interviewer, the forum or form of the interview, and the date. The word Interview may be replaced by a word that describes the format better, such as Conversation, and positions may follow names.
