A journalist usually meets and interacts with over 30 executives in a week. Each news report that appears is affected by information and perception of the journalist about the firm; other important events of the day and many other factors.
• How do you set yourself apart?
• How do you ensure the message of your firm is not lost
• Do you view each media interactions as an opportunity or a threat?
• Do you speak the same language to all business channels?<br><br>
An efficient and effective spokesperson does far more than simply communicating the facts. A spokesperson represents the image a company wants the outside world to see by customising his communication to suit the needs of the medium and the journalist.<br><br>
In our training sessions, apart from making you aware of the common miss-steps that people make, we also help you to:
• Understand the complexity of the media world- time lines, nature of stories.
• Techniques to get your message across- thinking from the point of view of the media
• Learning what is manageable for your business interests: an essential part of being in the media is also about knowing what not to say
• Convert information to news: not every information is news. So what is news?
• Manage unplanned situations with media: a planned interview may also have the unwanted questions which cannot be avoided. You can learn to answer them. Saying No comments is not an option a journalist will agree to.<br><br>

The program deals with every little nuance that can help you turn each interaction with media into an opportunity to convey the right message.
