This is an interview-transcript style of news report. It is not that common in any language. Since English happens to be the lingua-franca in multiple non-western countries, there's this illusion that this is an American-only thing. I've read similar style of report in Indian media before, and yes, I like reading them.

Do these Indian interview-transcript style news reports feature the same very frequent switching between report and interview? That's what I found so confusing.
There are a few artistic variations, but yes, the general format should look the same. Here's one by The Wire, a left-leaning Indian news media.
That appears to be just a regular interview, alternating between the interview questions and the answers of the person interviewed.
