The present study analyzes the discursive interactional strategies applied by the enunciators of the journalistic interview in written press. Methodologically framed in the interpretive paradigm, the study focuses on the audios of five recorded interviews provided by the newspaper El Impulso (Venezuela) in 2014. These recordings are analyzed from the study and understanding of linguistic facts, based on the approaches of conversational structure and turn-taking, as well as the materiality of the staging of the informational discourse. The results show that the roles of the social contract were respected in a complex network of semantic interactions with a flexible structure, without the journalist playing a role of power and avoiding polemics. Beyond rigid schemes, the expression of quality content was imposed, co-built from strategies of mutual understanding.
