There are few things more intimidating than a live media interview. If you’ve never done one, you will have lots of questions, like: what are they going to ask me, what if they throw me a curveball, what do I wear, where do I look, etc. Even if you’ve done media interviews before, you can never get too comfortable with any journalist, any environment or any topic.
Journalism has changed immensely from the 1990’s, when Tony and Debi started out…and the days of objective reporters are long gone! You need to learn how to engage with them, how to prepare for your interviews, and how to survive the unexpected.
Fortunately, here at New Renaissance Communications, we have extensive broadcast and print experience to train, test and instill confidence in you when you meet the media.
