As a journalist I would also say that you shouldn't use IRC for the interview medium. I once tried to do an interview using the "talk" facility on CompuServe and capture the conversation to floppy disk. (Easy for me to do with Professional YAM.) I ended up repeating the interview in electronic mail because when I fact-checked the interview it turned out that the guy didn't stick to the same story throughout the interview. The e-mail interview was much more coherent.
Some people just don't think well on their feet. Some reporters try to take advantage of it.
