Why Media Training?
Some people are great in front of a camera or on the business end of a microphone. Some people are not. The days of “no comment” are long gone. Ignore the media and it can negatively affect your organization’s image. The media can be like a disease. It either gets worse or it goes away. Most of the time it just gets worse. We have answers for every media situation and can help you understand how to protect yourself and your image.
Being grilled by the media is an opportunity, not a problem. It’s your opportunity to gain and maintain control, sway the delicate nature of public perception and send a positive image of your organization and the people in it.
Media has changed more in the past 14 months than it has in the past 14 years. News is no longer news. Reporters are not as much about journalism as they are about commercialism. The need to impress has overpowered the need to inform. There is no longer a newscast, there is only a “show”.
Take our “Quiz” to see if you’re prepared to deal with the media.
