How do you respond to a hostile question from a reporter? How do you address an issue with which you’re unfamiliar? How do you translate your message into a memorable sound bite?
These are just a few of the issues we’ll tackle in my media-training workshop. I break the session down into five parts:
1. A presentation on the core principles of mediaspeak, replete with real-life case studies.
2. Brainstorming to essentialize your key messages.
3. A discussion on how to answer uncomfortable questions.
4. An analysis of your clips.
5. Mock interviews.
