media training tips
Media Training is essential for successful executives

Is CNBC requesting an interview?

Worried that The Wall Street Journal will publish something you can’t retract?

Do you fear media interviews rather than embrace the opportunity?

As former ABC News anchor Sam Donaldson once said, “The questions don’t do the damage. Only the answers do.”

Media interview opportunities can offer great rewards, but they can also come with their share of risks if you are not properly prepared. Discover exactly how to ensure that the exposure you receive is positive, and minimize the potential for damage, with media training from Franchetti Communications.

The Executive Media Training Success System™ is woven into every Working with the Media™ session, providing executives and corporate spokespeople with the unwritten rules and essential tools required for interacting with the business, trade, and mainstream media to ensure that you will be treated fairly every step of the way. With Franchetti Communications’ media training, you will learn exactly how to convey a positive image for yourself and your company. You will discover how to put forth important messages, how to keep them in context, and how to avoid being trapped or misquoted. We also show you how to handle the challenge of working with the growing number of bloggers and other publishers who do not come to you with formal training as journalists.
