Comparing this press meeting to Swedish press meetings it seems I am missing something. Don't other nation have one question per journalist and then rotate until there is no more questions or time is up?
For Swedish press meeting, most of the time the journalist walk up to the stand, ask their question, and during the time the representative answer the question the journalist walks back to their seat. There is practically never a back-and-forth conversation during a press meeting. If a TV or news paper want a interview they book an interview.
Is this a cultural difference?

- yostrovs 8y agoIt depends who the press is talking to, whether they generally agree, and therefore listen as students, or whether they generally disagree, and therefore act as being part of a debate.
