Barry Yeoman: 我是《独立周刊》的记者，我们为了以一种与众不同的方式报道1996年北卡罗来纳州州长竞选，决定虚构一位候选人Jolene Strickland。她是一位来自Pine Hill镇的退休教师，代表了农村北卡罗来纳州最进步的价值观。我们希望通过她来讽刺当时两位候选人Jim Hunt和Robin Hayes，并引发人们对一些重要政治问题的思考。我们为Jolene Strickland制作了详细的人物设定、照片和宣传材料，并安排了新闻发布会。虽然我们希望读者能够意识到Jolene Strickland是虚构的，但许多人却误以为她是真实的候选人，并向她捐款。在新闻发布会上，扮演Jolene Strickland的演员Joanna McClay最终承认了她的虚构身份。虽然我们犯了一些错误，但我们对这个项目感到满意，因为它引发了人们对政治的思考。 Phoebe Judge: 我是本节目的主持人，我采访了参与创造Jolene Strickland的记者Barry Yeoman，以及对另类周刊有深入研究的学者Tricia Romano。通过他们的讲述，我们了解了创造Jolene Strickland的整个过程，以及它所带来的影响和争议。 Tricia Romano: 我研究另类周刊的历史，我认为《独立周刊》创造Jolene Strickland的行为，是另类周刊挑战主流媒体、以独特方式报道新闻的体现。虽然这次行动存在争议，但它也反映了另类周刊的价值观和报道风格。 Jolene Strickland(Joanna McClay): 我是扮演Jolene Strickland的演员，我接受了记者的采访，并参加了新闻发布会。起初我能够成功地扮演这个角色，但当记者们开始提出尖锐的问题时，我感到慌张，最终承认了Jolene Strickland的虚构身份。 Bob Moser: 我是《独立周刊》的主编，我批准了创造Jolene Strickland的计划，虽然我对此感到紧张，但我认为这是一个大胆而有价值的尝试。 Jim Hunt: 我是1996年北卡罗来纳州州长竞选的民主党候选人，我没有意识到Jolene Strickland是虚构的。 Robin Hayes: 我是1996年北卡罗来纳州州长竞选的共和党候选人，我没有意识到Jolene Strickland是虚构的。
