The paper is devoted to the study of dialogism means in one of the most popular genres of journalism today – interviews. The dialogue form of this journalistic text type determines the choice of language means, which allows us to talk about the general principles of communication between the journalist
and the interviewee. At the same time, the peculiarities of language means’ functioning are caused by other factors: the information policy of the publication, the author’s (interviewer’s) intentions, the conversation topic, the respondent’s personality. Comparative analysis of interviews published in
“Arguments and facts”, one of the most popular Russian publications, allows us to determine different types of dialogism in media linguistics aspect. Particular attention is paid to the so-called two-level dialogues: the first level is the question-answer format of communication between the journalist
(interviewer) and the interlocutor (interviewee); the second level is a more complex communicative act – the dialogue with the audience.
