Why media & message training?

“It is always a risk to speak to the press: They are likely to report what you say.” - Hubert H. Humphrey

Building confidence and unlocking your potential is what it takes to enable you to deal professionally with journalists. 

  • Our courses are ‘hands on’ courses that through interview exercises in front of camera – followed by feedback from professional journalists on content, performance and body language take you as close as it gets to the real thing
  • Our experienced journalists put you in different, realistic interview situations based on real interview topics
  • Our experienced journalists provide you with valuable feedback and useful tools that enable you to answer the journalists’ questions and get your own messages across.

We design our courses to match your requirements with any interview formats you may wish; various types of TV and radio interviews, telephone or print interviews.

We conduct training for individuals, for larger or smaller groups of participants – in any language you may require.
