Media Interview Training

18 Jan

Media Trust, W12 7SB

Thursday 18 January 2018 10:00 - 16:00

Media Trust's Media Interview Training will ensure you can confidently get your organisation's message across in a media interview. You will gain practical interview experience covering radio, TV and telephone interviews.

This one-day course will make sure you can confidently get your organisation’s message across in a media interview. Participants will learn what makes a newsworthy story, what journalists want and how to identify key messages and communicate these to the media.

Each participant will work with the trainer to understand how to articulate your key messages with maximum impact, in both reactive and proactive media interview scenarios. Our expert trainer will help you keep calm, stay on message and make the right impression when it counts. Rehearse your TV and radio manner, make sure you’ll be interesting and engaging over the phone and get familiar with interviewer styles through professional one to one feedback and coaching.   

Really helped me increase my confidence and improve my media skills. I feel much more prepared to do media interviews.
