Understanding how the media works is as important as having a good story and telling it well, as this one-day workshop will show.
We’ll help you to get better media coverage and improve your radio and television interview skills.
In a very small group, you will learn what makes a better story, and how to bridge the gap between what the journalist wants to ask and what you’d like to say.
This practical session is designed for people who speak to the media regularly and who want to tell a better story, as well as for those who want a higher media profile. You will have the opportunity to practice radio and television interviews and take examples of your work home.
