Managing the Media Training

If you want to get more media coverage for your company or organisation it’s essential you’re seen and heard in the media on a regular basis. Yet you need to be fully prepared to get the most of out of the media interview.

Media training is critical and can make the difference between creating a strong positive public impression or a truly negative one. It’s essential in helping you develop the skills to get your message across succinctly and with impact.

Our highly tailored media training will assist team members to understand the different forms of media, how to engage journalists and how to control even the most difficult interview.

Theory combined with practice interviews provide trainees with the experience of understanding and dealing with the media in a range of situations.

Includes phone interview practice with a professional journalist and detailed on the spot feedback from the trainer and journalist.

The media training covers:

  • Understanding the media landscape – what is news and how does it work?
  • How to interact with the media
  • What to ask when a journalist calls
  • How to stay on message and keep interviews within safe boundaries
  • Creating a “quotable quote”- what to say and how to say it
  • Packaging key messages for media success
  • Controlling a media interview – techniques that keep you on track
  • Techniques for different media –TV, radio and print
  • Interview planning – making sure you have the right messages

Media Training Outcomes:

In addition to practising techniques, the participants will:

  • Gain a detailed understanding of the media landscape
  • Be able to question a journalist on why a certain angle was taken or ignored
  • Have a better understanding of their own natural communication style
  • Identify performance strengths and areas for development
  • Have a set of checklists and tools for planning their next media interview
  • Be challenged to think about the ‘business’ of journalism and how to ‘play’ the media game
  • Gain a set of techniques they can apply in other situations, not just with journalists e.g. Board meetings, AGMs
  • Observe examples of how others have achieved good media performance using the techniques they’ve learned

Media Training Delivery

The Media Training can be delivered as interactive half or full day workshops for corporate teams, tailored to your organisation. We also offer mentoring to manage specific media interview situations.

Our Media Training is ideal for:

Anyone in a public facing role including the spokespeople for your organisation, employees and leaders, small business owners, or someone who simply has a message to share with the public
