You may have been interviewed by a member of the media, or maybe some day you will be. You can never be sure when circumstances will conspire to have a reporter standing in front of you with a microphone, or on the other end of a phone line, waiting for an answer.

This course is going to help you develop the skills to deliver a smooth interview as either a citizen or a professional spokesperson. You are also going to learn about vehicles for conveying ideas such as press releases and media packages. You are also going to consider the types of relationships that you can develop with the media.

Its always good to have a professional, positive relationship with the media, and this course will set you up for success.

The media is more widespread and pervasive than it’s ever been and its reach is growing all the time. Depending on your line of work or hobbies, or just a plain twist of fate, you could end up being the answer part of a question and answer session with a member of the media.

It’s easy to become nervous or tongue-tied when being in this situation. Plenty of people get distracted when they consider that what they are saying could very soon be on some news organisation’s website or Twitter feed.

Being uneasy is perfectly understandable, but you can learn to deal with the media, on a one-off basis, or as a recurring situation. This course will give you the tools you need when dealing with the media and putting your best foot forward without putting your foot in your mouth.
