Two examples of EXCELLENT interviews

1.) Steve Jobs Rolling stone interview, 1994
 -In this interview, the introduction was more lie a short bio of Jobs' business career.  It provided  great information that was later brought back up throughout the actual interview .
2.) The interviewer and editor did a really good job of  going from very technical and business related, to tying in personal accomplishments and goals. It created a more relaxed and inviting environment for the subject to expand on the question being asked.
3./4) this interview works well for a reader who doesn't know much about the subject because the introduction and questions were created for the reader know more about Steve jobs rather than read about just one achievement so on after the fact
5.) I would ask the interviewer  how much research they had to do in order to have a nice, full interview and genuine questions.

1.) Read for the Flight interview with Barack Obama
This interview stands out to me because there is a stronger sense of familiarity within the intro and questions than usual
2.)The interview was much like the introduction: a lot of referencing to past interviews and campaigns. The interviewer. Explained that within the past interview the president seemed to be more joyous and less serious than this interview since now he was talking about real issues with his campaign like mitt Romney and the  republican Party. It was good and let the reader know that he had done passed interviews with Pres. and the differences between those interviews and interviews he was going through now.
