Grading comment

Im vorliegenden Kontext passte diese Lösung noch am besten, obwohl ich letztendlich keinen der hier gemachten Vorschläge gewählt habe. Ich habe lediglich "Interviews" bzw. später im Text "Interviewausschnitte" benutzt.

Idioms: sound bite
A short, striking, quotable statement well suited to a television news program. For example, He's extremely good at sound bites, but a really substantive speech is beyond him. This slangy expression, first recorded in 1980, originated in political campaigns in which candidates tried to get across a particular message or get publicity by having it picked up in newscasts.
