BibTeX - how to cite interviews

[Anne]

I need to cite two interviews in my dissertation (ie., I talked to two
credible sources and need to refer to those discussions) - tried using
the @misc category and \verb in my .bib file, but it didn't work.
Currently, latex files it by year and puts the title in lowercase.
Any recommendations for citing an interview would be helpful - info I
need to include: title (Interview with Superman), year (2003)
thanks

Did you perform the interview yourself? If so, a popular convention is to
use the citation "[personal communication, 2003]" in the text, and have no
corresponding entry in the list of references. If the interview was
published somewhere (say, as a printed transcript), then you can cite that
published copy using one of the standard BibTeX entry types.

You should not put into a list of references items that are not available to
your readers, including personal communications, restricted documents, etc.
Instead, simply put into your text something like, "In an interview on Feb.
22, 2004, with Superman, ..."

This may be appropriate in your field; it is not, however, necessarily
appropriate in Anne's field. And, regardless of what is appropriate in
the field at large, it may be a requirement of her dissertation advisor.

I think part of the reason why that's not working well in the @misc
category is that you're putting things in not-quite-appropriate
categories; specifically, I don't think the use of the title field for
this is appropriate. I would instead suggest the following:

@MISC(superman_interview,
AUTHOR = "Clark Kent",
MONTH = "Jan. 25",
YEAR = 2003,
HOWPUBLISHED = "private interview")

The "private interview" might work better in a "NOTE" field instead,
depending on how your bibtex style formats @misc items.
