Effective media interview skills
We show you how to prepare for an interview, avoid media pitfalls, and control the media interview so you get what you want reported.
We explain the differing features of television and radio interviews.
We work with you to define and refine key messages for different audiences – and how to counter the negatives – building a narrative for each participant within the context of a communications strategy.
How the media works
