Media Interview Skills Workshop

Building on participants’ past experiences, this workshop provides practical tools to enhance their capacity to turn media interview requests into education or advocacy opportunities, becoming more effective at crafting and delivering their key messages. Learning outcomes include:

  • Understanding how reporters, columnists and talk show hosts operate;
  • Preparing for interviews (print/broadcast, friendly/hostile, long/short, live/taped);
  • Crafting concise and quotable messages;
  • Bridging from asked questions to important issues and more nuanced context;
  • Translating abstract issues into compelling stories and accessible analogies.
