Are you seeking media attention? Are journalists seeking you? Either way, you need to be prepared for interviews with journalists because they are prepared to interview you.
The key to successful interviews is:
- developing and delivering a message that is simple, interesting and newsy
| "Paul’s
insights and honesty helped me become completely
comfortable in front of a camera or radio microphone… and it
all occurred in one session . If you just want someone to make you feel
good, go somewhere else; but if you want real life results, Paul is
your man." - Don R. Campbell, president, reincanada.com and author of Real Estate Investing in Canada |
Media interview training seminars conducted by freelance journalist, media interview coach and author, Paul Lima, can prepare you for media interviews in one interactive session -- in person or over the phone (which is how most interviews are conducted).
After taking Paul Lima's Are you ready for the Interview seminar you will:
- be prepared
- know your key messages
- understand how to weave key messages into answers
- actively get your message across when replying to simple, complex or confrontational questions
- handle negative questions in a positive manner
- correct negative assumption in a positive manner.
It's the information age and every executive, manager, corporate spokesperson and business owner should be able to condense news, financial data, product information, and other announcements into brief, convincing messages--expressed in an articulate, memorable manner.
When it comes to getting your organization's message out to the public--customers, shareholders, sponsors, donors, and other stakeholders--knowing how to talk to journalists and interact effectively with the media is essential.
What you say and how you say it can have a lasting impact on your business because the media helps Canadians form opinions.
Even if you are not actively seeking media attention, you never know when the media will come calling. So you need to be prepared.
